So if you are replacing, then you should replace both. This same case applies to the rear axle. \r\rYou will rarely find all four worn out at the same time. In fact, front ones wear out more quickly than rear brake pads because they do almost 70 percent of all the braking. Another explanation is that you transfer a car's weight to the front when you press the brake pedal. This sends a greater downward force to the front tires, which increases friction between the road and front wheels. As a result, you find yourself frequently replacing front brake pads more times than back ones.\r\rOne side can wear out faster than the other, yet they are on the same axle. This mostly it happens if the brake caliper is defective.\r\rWhen brakes are depressed, the pressure from the pedal pushes the brake pads against the brake rotors and the vehicle slows down. If you have uneven pads, your car will probably swerve because the tires will not stop at the same time.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How much does it cost to replace all 4 brake pads?","text":"Brake pad replacement cost per axle is around $150 with typical replacements ranging from $100 to $300 per axle. \r\rApart from replacing the pads, other hardware pieces need servicing in the brake system.

Additionally, power washing also saves a lot of time, so you aren't spending hours on a boat wash when you don't need to. \r\rKeep in mind that while cleaning your aluminium boat, you may need to clean more than just the hull material. Depending on how dirty the boat is, you may also have to clean the boat seats, the running boards, and the boat carpet. While this guide will make the cleaning parts of your boat made of aluminium easy, make sure to check for ways in which to clean other materials on your boat so that the entire boat looks as good as new once you're done.\r\rTo start cleaning, first, clean the exterior of the boat as soon as it is dry. If there's still a thin layer of excess dirt, you can remove it with a broom and dustpan, then scrub it with a scrubbing pad or stiff brush and a mixture of distilled water and dishwashing soap to remove stubborn debris like salt deposits or bird droppings. If possible, dry the boat off with a towel after washing but if not, use a leaf blower on low power to remove excess moisture. Let the boat sit in indirect sunlight for several hours to make sure it is completely dry. This will work for aluminium alloys, galvanised steel, and anodised aluminium. \r\rClean the interior of the boat at least once per month by wiping down all surfaces with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning to avoid streaking or spotting from the soapy residue left behind on surfaces.\r\rOnce the boat is thoroughly cleaned, you will need to protect the exterior to keep it looking shiny and new. Waxing aluminium boats protect against saltwater corrosion and fading from sunlight exposure. Use a wax that is specifically formulated for use on aluminium, then apply it with a terry-cloth rag or orbital polisher. Let the wax sit for 30 minutes before buffing off any excess residue using a clean towel.\r\rWaxing aluminium boats will not remove deep scratches but it will prevent water from entering the material and exposing the boat to rust or corroding chemicals in saltwater. It also prevents oxidation caused by sun exposure, which fades paint colours over time. It results in bare aluminium boats and makes your aluminium boat appear old even though it may be brand new.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What can I use to clean my aluminium boat?","text":"You can use a broom and dustpan to remove dirt, a scrub brush with water and dishwashing soap to remove stubborn debris like salt deposits or bird droppings.
