I decided last week to tackle the front brakes on my wife's 2018 Jeep Compass since she didn't THINK she'd ever had them done, I had the time to do them, and figured it wouldn't hurt to get to them when I had the time rather than as a "I need to do these right away" repair. I planned out the day to get them off, cleaned up, run the disks up to O'Reilly's to turn(I'd rather have turned factory rotors than cheap aftermarket), and get it all together.
I pulled the driver's side apart and found this-pad pulled on the right, new pad on the left
I know these are obviously worn some vs. the new pad, but there's a lot of meat on the pads I took off to my eye. Also, there seems to be a "step" at the hub, which makes me think the rotors have been turned at least once.
She bought it new, and it has 60K miles on it. She does a lot of highway driving(her commute is ~50 miles a day total) but I'd find it hard to believe that between a lot of running around town and even rush hour traffic jams that there's no way a 60K mile pad has this little wear.
The only thing I can potentially think is she had two tires put on last year(that was before we were married, and before she completely turned over her car maintenance to me ...especially since I never replace 2 tires ) and I'm wondering if they were done then. She has the receipt around somewhere for that, but I'm guessing it
may take a bit to find.
What do you all think? BTW, I put it back together with the old pads.
