Enough to possibly have the rear end seals leaking yet? Just wondering how the brakes in the rear are working… usually if you’re cooking fronts faster than expected, check out the rears and make sure that it isn’t because your fronts are the only ones working… if the rear seals are trickling out oil to the hubs, those brakes are probably cooked/hardened/useless. > > You may have already checked for this, just a suggestion… I did the rears when the fronts were done last time. Theres 100k on it, and its a GM so its way past its life expectancy, let alone the point when it start leaking from everywhere. :rofl :rofl :rofl --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/brake-pad-rotor-selection-help/259788)._
