You'll hear them start squeaking. There a metal piece on the pad that rubs on the rotor it gets real loud. You can't miss it you'll know it when you hear it. I would'nt worry untill you have atleast 30,000 miles, unless you deliver mail in your car[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
a) you hear constant grinding
b) you hear a squeeking (first when you turn only, then steadily)
c) your steering wheel + car vibrates when you apply the brakes (warped rotors - do rotors & pads)
the earliest you will likely have to do your front brakes is around 30,000 miles - the latest being around 65,000 miles.
the back brakes will likely NEVER need to be done, they are good for 100-200,000 miles.
