Replying to: gord3 (Apr 14, 2007 10:48 am) gord3...you must be a Canadian with the km...I use to live in Vancouver. Anyways, the reason the rears are wearing down faster than your front is because of the electronic brake assist system on our vans. This system is meant to assist you during hard braking, and also when braking with a heavy load, and prevents the front diving forward. All this leads to more brake use in the rear.   As for the dealer covering the brakes under warranty. I highly doubt it unless you have a very very very nice dealer. It's all considered regular maintenance item. Most manufacturers will pretty much cover everthing the first 12 months of a new vehicle. There is no TSB or recall on our brakes, so the owner will have to pay for the brake job. As to 'design error', the dealers favorite saying is 'it's within Nissan's spec'.
#24 of 85 slotted drilled by bkemp Apr 25, 2007 (3:40 am)
I went the slotted drilled route with free replacement for life if anything goes wrong with the rotors...we'll see how it goes! I've got my fingers crossed that they last for at least 10k. Cirrus, what kind of ceramic pads are those in the pictures?

Replying to: bkemp (Apr 25, 2007 3:40 am) bkemp...the pads I am using is Raybestos QS (Quiet Stop) ceramic pads. They are not any kind of high performance pads but very good for daily drive. I have used Raybestos on all my cars for the last 10 years and like them a lot. Replies to this message: bkemp (Apr 25, 2007 6:38 pm) carzzz (Sep 21, 2007 5:48 pm) cirruss (Sep 21, 2007 7:09 pm)

#27 of 85 04 brakes or breaks by ezblue May 05, 2007 (7:00 pm)
I bought an 07 quest 3 mon ago along w/a titan. In reading about both autos in the forums 04MY did not seem like a good year for Nissan. Hope this is all in the past.

Replying to: cirruss (Mar 24, 2007 5:05 pm) Thanks for the pictures! I'm taking my Quest in tomorrow to have rear pads replaced. Not too bad for 44k miles.   Mark 2004 Quest SE
#29 of 85 Ceramic Pads on '04+ ?? by exploder750 Jul 08, 2007 (6:35 pm)
Our '04 Quest has 80,000 miles and is coming due for brake pads all around. All rotors seem okay, with no pedal hop, so I'm leaving them alone. I'm seeking people's experience with ceramic pads, especially used with stock rotors? i see one person here used ceramic with stock rear rotors, how are those working for you? Thanks.
#30 of 85 Ceramic Pads on '04+ ?? by cirruss Jul 08, 2007 (8:30 pm)
I put the Raybestos QS ceramic pads on my Quest, and have now put on 6k miles on them. I think they work quite well. Ceramcis pads are suppose to reduce brake dust and reduce brake squeal. These pads provide good firm braking. I don't have any problems with them. Depending on the manufacturer of the pads, the formulation of the materials and the amount of the ceramic used will cause a difference in performance. I am sure that these Raybestos pads contain both ceramic and organic materials to provide optimal performance for most daily drivers. Some high performance pads might require optimal performance at a specific temperature range - if they are cold, they might feel sluggish.   The first few days of getting them, they felt a bit soft but that's with any new brake job because they need to be bedded in properly. After that, it has been good. Replies to this message: exploder750 (Jul 09, 2007 3:43 am) exploder750 (Oct 15, 2007 5:48 am)

Replying to: cirruss (Jul 08, 2007 8:30 pm) Thanks for the reply, cirruss. I put Raybestos ceramic pads on the front of my Ranger pickup and have been very pleased with them, and agree that they are likely a compound developed for every day use. I've been down the road of using "cheap" brake pads, and have had them wear out after a year / 12,000 miles, so never again. I'm after pads that won't be harsh on the rotors yet give more life than the standard Nissan design pads give, and these Raybestos seem to be a fair bet.
#32 of 85 Removing Rear Drums from 2000 Quest by swami2302 Jul 14, 2007 (11:50 am)
I am wanting to replace the rear brake shoes on my 2000 Quest. The problem I'm having is that I can't figure out how to remove the brake drums. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Replies to this message: steve_ (Jul 15, 2007 4:37 pm)
