I live in the salt belt. Ny

Not just with my ram but notice that brakes are failling prior to be worn out.

Mainly from rusty rotors pitting and pad back and clips rusting out and or seizing

I got about 5000 miles on brakes since replaced when i bought.
Pad still have good meat but rotors r shot. Lots of rusy pits on back of rotor causing a slight shake.

Pad are starting to rust off mounts

What give. Is it just bag auto store parts.

Pretty sure set is oem on ram

How do u stop

Try the zinc plated rotors from 1aauto.com nice quality rotors at a decent price. Better than the common parts store junk.

Ill have to che k out. Seems like every brake job i do for friends and family. Is not due to pads worn out. It parts failing due to rust.

Also whats the best setup rotor pads. Not trying to go crazy. Drilled slotted or flat.

All i read say drilled is not necesarry and only looks cool

1aauto also sells pads. Ceramic and semi metallic. I run the ceramic as I drive a lot.
