Ok, you mechanics and long time Villagers....

Today, we had to replace the brakes on our 18 month old rebuilt Club Car Electric.

We are full timers, use the cart extensively (probably average 120 miles a week), are not hard on the brakes.

Almost out of nowhere, we heard a metal on metal grinding sound on the right rear wheel. The front part of one brake pad was completely worn down and had dug into the drum too. The other pad on that wheel had noticeable wear. The other wheel, the pads seemed to be wearing evenly and not that worn down.

So, is this normal wear and tear? Do you think something was incorrectly installed or adjusted to create this uneven wear?

How long or how many miles should brake pads last?

By the way, it cost $149 for 4 brake pads, 1 drum, and the labor/service call. Just an FYI.
