Toyota Corolla Brakes
The Toyota Corolla has both front and back brakes. The front brakes consist of two front disc brakes, which are considered the best types of brakes and are used in front because the Corolla is a front-wheel drive vehicle. The back brakes are of the drum style, also known as “dumb style” brakes.
Additionally, the parking brake is attached to the back brakes.
It is important to note that the front brake pads on a Toyota Corolla typically wear down slower compared to the rear brake pads due to the nature of rear-wheel drive cars .
If you need to replace the brake pads on your Toyota Corolla, it is recommended to have both the front and rear brake pads replaced at the same time. The cost for parts can range from $100-$200 per axle, and labor charges can range from $80-$100.

Does my car have front and rear brakes?
Every car comes with two front brakes and two rear brakes. Older vehicles typically have drum brakes in both the front and rear. In contrast, modern cars tend to have either disc brakes on all four wheels or disc brakes in the front and drum brakes in the back.
Is Toyota Corolla front or rear wheel?
FWD: fuel efficient and good in winter
It is found in the Toyota Corolla, Toyota Camry, and entry-level Toyota Corolla Cross, among others. Having front-wheel drive is also more beneficial in winter than a rear-wheel drive, for example.
Is there a front and back brake pad?
Almost all vehicles that have 4 wheel disc brakes have different pads in the front than the rear. 70% of the braking effort is in the front so the front brakes are almost always bigger.
Do all cars have 2 sets of brakes?
All cars have front and rear brakes. However, they do not all necessarily have brake PADS. The ’06 Accord, depending on trim, had either rear disc brakes (like fronts with pads) or rear drum brakes (older style, has ‘shoes’).
Should I replace all 4 brakes at the same time?
Typically, you should have both your front brake pads replaced at the same time, and your rear pads replaced at the same time, to ensure proper braking power. Of course, to make it easier on yourself with one simple visit, rather than two to four visits, you may want to replace all four brake pads at the same time.
Does a Toyota Corolla have back brakes?
Toyota Corolla Rear Brake Pad Replacement
Unlike front brake pads, most rear brake pads wear down faster due to the brake mechanics of rear wheel drive cars. Similarly with front brake pads, your Toyota Corolla rear brake pads will typically wear down at the same rate on both the left and right side of your vehicle.
Does my car use all 4 brakes?
All cars/trucks brake on all wheel no matter if they are driven from the front, rear or all 4 wheels. Because your weigh shifts forward when braking the front brakes do most of the work, this is why on older cars the front brakes where the first to be changed from drum to disc, better braking.
Do cars have both front and rear brake pads?
In most cars, each caliper has one inner pad and one outer pad. That’s a total of four pads on a car with front disc brakes, and 8 on a car with front and rear brakes. New cars with electronic parking brakes often have separate parking brake calipers on the rear wheels. That’s another four pads.
Does a 2017 Toyota Corolla have rear brakes?
Similarly with front brake pads, your 2017 Toyota Corolla rear brake pads will frequently wear down at the same estimate on both the left and proper side of your vehicle.
Do all 4 brakes work at the same time?
Generally, the answer is yes. With purely mechanical brakes, when you hit the pedal, all four brakes respond, unless there is a fault in the system. However, with ABS, and traction control and a host of other computer controlled features in todays cars, the answer becomes more of an “it depends” kind of thing.
