Auto Parts: 2003 GMC Yukon Denali Rear Brake Pads Always Going OutI, gmc yukon denali, gmc yukon

Question
I have a 2003 GMC Yukon Denali with 95k miles and for the past 2-3 years I have had to replace the rear pads and rotors several times, they last 4-5 months each time.... The front ones are fine... I tried several different aftermarket. They are squeaking really bad. What could be causing them to go bad so quick all the time?

Answer
Hi Joe,

Front brakes aren't working.

Check to see why and you'll fix your constant replacement of the rear pads by default.

Could also be that you have sticking slides or sticking calipers, but to have both with the same problem? Doubtful. There is something causing the front brakes to not function as they should.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
