Hi,
I have a 2005 Toyota Camry and have been having repeated problems from the rear brake pads with noise. The brake pads wear out very frequently in the range of 6000 to 8000 kms and it tends to scratch the brake drums resulting in a rubbing noise between the metal part of the brake pad and the brake drum. I have got the brake pads, calliper kit, brake drums replaced which looked to have cleared the problem but the noise again repeated after a while.I have again replaced the brake pads and polished the brake drum surface for scratches. I tend to notice this problem repeating again.
Please let me know if you can suggest a solution to get rid of this recurring problem. Thanks....
The rear brakes should last from 30000 to 60000 miles or 50000 to 100000 kms. So something is wearing out your brakes too fast. Are you doing the work or some shop. I also assume you have discs and not drums since you mention pads and calipers. I am not certain but usually you need a tool to turn the pistion in when putting in new pads. I would make sure the pads are releasing properly by raising rear of car, stepping on brakes a few times (with engine off and try see if wheels are free by spinning by hand, also try to use handbrake a few times and release it and see if wheels spin freely. Maybe rears always applied. Notice burning smell, are discs glazed from heat? Are you using really cheap pads. Also check the proportioning valve which will decrease pressure to rear brakes during hard braking. Do you notice rear wheels squeling during hard braking. Do you have antilock brake system? Also are you using good quality pads and rotors.

Thank you for your inputs Mr. Edokamoto....
The quality of spares are assured as it is bought from a Toyota Authorized outlet with part numbers on the Toyota receipts. Hence I suspect the workmanship of the fault fix. May be your suggestion further would add value.
