Ok cool.
I'm a little confused then....
When I said I have about 1/8" in the front and 3/8" in the rear, I estimated this by looking through the wheel on an angle to see what I thought are the pads.
Are you saying/showing me that in order to really see the remaining pad thickness, you need to take the wheel off and look at it face on?
I can send a picture of what I think is the pad, but not until tonight. But basically I'm looking at the part that comes in direct contact with the silver disk. I can only see the outer pad.
Assuming I have this correct, based on this statement: "Rule of thumb is when the friction material is the same thickness as the backing plate, then it's time to replace." I should replace the front pretty soon, like as in the next 1000 miles or less.
The car has 37,000 miles on it.
