Hi everyone: I have a 2011 Altima with about 67k miles. I’ve had the front brakes replaced but not the rear. I’m due. Driving home tonight, the brakes were squeaking. I’m going to get the car in very soon. My question is can I get about 100 more miles of driving out of it or is that something that needs IMMEDIATE attention. Thanks in advance! ---

Just like the front brake pads, the rear brake pads have wear indicators that come in contact with the brake rotors when the pads wear to a certain point.

So if this is what’s causing the noise, you can wait. The pads and rotors will be replaced anyway. Tester ---

Thanks very much, Tester. Have a great night!
