How many km on average should the brakes last in the Focus?
I'm not sure if mine are starting to go or not, have 65-70k on the car. I've got the squeeling on the left front I think. Which I believe is supposed to be an indicator of brake wear, nearing time for replacement. However I'm wondering if perhaps under some hard braking the pad perhaps got offset? a slight angle to it? and has worn incorrectly because of it.
Anyway just wondering, I don't really want to replace the brakes, but if I must I must.
Oh yeah, do the rotors usually need to be changed as well?
Thanks
