I'm taking my '99 XLT 4WD into the Ford dealership next week to fix a rattle and get a factory recall (seat bolt) fixed. I have 69,000 miles and have never done one thing to the brakes, and figured it would be good to know the condition of the brakes. I've never heard any squealing, they work well, but sometimes they sound a little "rough" when braking hard.
I don't know much about brakes, but am a little familiar with pads, rotors, and calipers. Based on what I've indicated, what's the lifetime of the above components, especially the rotors and the calipers? In case Ford says "replace everything", I'd like to get more info from experienced folks like yourselves.
Thanks!
