brake shoe question
2013 f150 4x4 CC 60,000 miles
Dealer says I need new front brake shoes and rotors , rear brakes shortly
Only shoes they have are Ford shoes and I would like something with less dust. Front wheels always have a lot of brake dust on them. They claim the FMC pads are low dust.
Anyway, I am planning on going to a local shop to get the brakes done.
Several questions:
1- Local shop quoted Wagner pads but will likely use whatever I want. Problem is I don't know what is best. Any suggestions?
2- Thought I might get them to flush the brake lines and refill at same time. Good idea @ 60,000 miles or not?
3-Rear brakes are still ok they say, although getting close. Any reason to do both at same time other than convenience?
4-Dealer also said I needed front rotors. I looked at them and they do have some minor grooves in them, so I'm sure they at least need to be turned or whatever you call it. Local guy said they would measure them and turn or recommend replaement. Ideas?
BTW brakes have always functioned fine. Never been overheated or abused.
Thanks
