Hi Folks, so while returning from Maine and on the way to a visit in the Berkshire Mts. (hills I thought) I decided to take a back road that looked good on my old Rand mcNally ... turned into 20 miles of a crazy roller coaster with no escape culminating in a long plunge with a truck escape lane, hard left and complete stop at a country road intersection.
-last truck escape lane I saw was in the Sierra Nevadas! Fortunately a PO installed rear disks in 2014. I found a place to pull over to let the brakes cool off
(yes I used a lot of lower gears)
Upon a restart and luckily a new road my right front wheel developed a loud squeak-squeak. I assume that's a brake pad warning.
Like a car I also assume the front brakes do most of the stopping work.
Should I assume I need new rotors along with pads up front?
