Does the Toyota Yaris have rear brake pads?

Yes, the Toyota Yaris does have rear brake pads. The Yaris, a subcompact car model produced by Toyota, is equipped with a complete braking system that includes both front and rear brake pads.


Brake System Overview for the Toyota Yaris


The Toyota Yaris features a disc brake system on all four wheels. This means the vehicle has brake discs (also called rotors) and brake pads on both the front and rear axles. The front brake pads are responsible for the majority of the braking force, but the rear brake pads play an important role in providing balanced and stable braking performance.


The rear brake pads on the Yaris help to:


  • Distribute braking force evenly between the front and rear wheels

  • Maintain vehicle stability and control during braking

  • Prevent the rear wheels from locking up and causing the vehicle to spin or skid

  • Provide additional braking power, especially when the vehicle is heavily loaded or traveling downhill



Proper maintenance of the rear brake pads, along with the front brake pads, is crucial for ensuring the Toyota Yaris has reliable and safe braking performance.

How much does it cost to replace Yaris brakes?


The average cost for a Toyota Yaris Brake Pad Replacement is between $219 and $251. Labor costs are estimated between $79 and $100 while parts are priced between $140 and $151. This range does not include taxes and fees, and does not factor in your unique location.



How long do Toyota Yaris brake pads last?


30-60k miles
The type of vehicle, type of use, and driving style all have an influence on pad life. On average, brake pads on the front last for anywhere from 30-60k miles.



How do I know if my rear brake pads need to be replaced?


One way to easily check on your brake pads is to inspect them visually for wear. To do this, look between the spokes of your wheels and locate your brake pad. If it appears to be less than a ΒΌ inch or 6.4 mm thick, and there's brake dust buildup, you're probably due for a set of new brake pads.



Does Toyota have rear brakes?


Rear brake components typically wear out well after the front brakes due to the level of stress required to slow a vehicle. Some rear brakes can last up to 50,0000 - 80,000 miles, but you should consult your Toyota service manual for recommended maintenance intervals for all components.



Do you have brake pads in the rear?


In most cars, each caliper has one inner pad and one outer pad. That's a total of four pads on a car with front disc brakes, and 8 on a car with front and rear brakes. New cars with electronic parking brakes often have separate parking brake calipers on the rear wheels. That's another four pads.



How much does it cost to replace rear brake pads on a Toyota Yaris?


The average cost of having your rear brake pads replaced starts at around $150 all the way up to $400+, depending on the type of brake pads used.



How do I know if my brakes are front or rear?


Front or Rear?

  1. While driving, slowly brake and listen out for noise.
  2. Repeat this step, this time using your emergency brake.
  3. If you hear a noise while braking normally, it's likely that the issue is with your front brakes. If you hear a noise while using the emergency brake, then it's the rear.



How long do Toyota rear brake pads last?


between 30,000 and 70,000 miles
Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles, but some can last as long as 100,000 miles. There are many factors that account for this wide range.



Does the Toyota Yaris have rear brakes?


Similarly with front brake pads, your Toyota Yaris rear brake pads will frequently wear down at the same rate on both the left and right side of your vehicle.



Can you replace front brake pads only?


Changing only the front or rear brake pads at a time can cause issues with braking performance. The new pads will grip the rotor more effectively than the worn pads, potentially causing unstable and unsafe braking. Additionally, the imbalance can overburden the brake pads, causing them to wear out even faster.
