Just wondering how long you guys have went before having to replace your rear shoes and/or drums. My car now has 122,00 and the rear shoes and drums are original. Parking brake holds firm, too. |

Rear brake linnings last a long time, its the front pads that get the most attention. I have not replaced mine and almost 200000. |

I have put over 80k on mine. This is fairly consistent with other cars I have owned...it takes a long time to wear out rear brakes (unless you drive with the brake on!) |

206K here. I was going to change them out the last time I did the front. I pulled off the drums to look and still had plenty left on the shoes. |

I took rear drums off after I heard scraping sounds from the right rear. It only occurs once in awhile during rainy periods, then goes away. I think it's just dust, etc. Still have 2/3 of shoes left... |
