Toyota Yaris Rear Brakes
The Toyota Yaris does have rear brakes. The rear brake pads on a Toyota Yaris wear down at the same rate per axle, and it is recommended to have the front or rear brake pads replaced at the same time . Additionally, brake shoes are found only at the rear wheels in cars with a drum brake system, and they press against the brake drums to cause friction that slows down the car.

Do all 4 tires have brake pads?
Each of your car’s wheels has its own brake pad and rotors. Over time, the constant friction between these two parts wears the brake pad down. The less traction it has, the less effective it is at stopping your vehicle when you need it most.
Are there brake pads in the rear?
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 my car have 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.
Does a 2007 Toyota Yaris have ABS brakes?
The 2007 Toyota Yaris comes standard with power-assisted front ventilated disc/rear drum brakes, while four-wheel anti-lock brake system with Electronic Brake Distribution is an option available for the both the liftback and sedan models.
What kind of brakes does a 2008 Toyota Yaris have?
At a basic level, cars like your Toyota use what are called “friction” brakes. These brakes use the contact between two types of material to bring the car to a halt. A friction brake may be either a disc brake or a drum brake.
Do I need to replace my rear brakes?
Several telltale signs will tell you when to replace brake pads or other braking system components. If you hear a squealing sound or your car pulls to one side when braking, you need your brakes checked. A low brake fluid warning light on your dashboard can also indicate an issue.
How do I know if I have rear disc or drum brakes?
If the car has alloy wheels, it’s usually fairly easy to peer between the spokes of the wheels and see the brake mechanism. Steel wheels with covers make this rather more difficult, but if you remove one or more of the covers (they generally clip on) you can often see well enough to tell.
Are front and rear brakes separate?
Most, if not all, cars builr these days have dual circuit braking systems. As part of that fluid reservoirs are either duplicated or divided so that each circuit, ordinarily one for front brakes, one for rears but there have been some using a diagonal split, has its individual fluid supply.
Are rear brakes front or back?
Front brakes go on the front of the car, and rear brakes go on the rear, and that seems to be about what most people know about the differences between the two types of brakes.
What kind of rear brakes does my car have?
Drum brakes are most often used on the rear axle of today’s vehicles. They are also very common on trailers. Manufacturers don’t use brake pads as the friction material in drum brakes. Instead, a drum brake system has a wheel cylinder with pistons that push brake shoes out against the inside of a spinning drum.
