I have a 21' Hyundai Accent which was basically the sedan version of the Venue before the Accent got axed. I live in the NE so I've encountered plenty of road salt as well as coastal salt/driving through minor coastal flooding. My car has basically zero rust underneath. I wash it immediately (within 24 hours) of driving through coastal flooding or winter treated roads, or as soon as temps go above freezing. Shit, I've got 80k on this car on the original brake pads and there's NO rust on the rotors or calipers, which to me is an unexpected surprise for someone who drives in corrosive conditions.
Yeah, for wipers, it's usually a gradual decline but once they start to go, it's quick; I usually look for any hazing or small spots that don't clear right away, which is a lot more obvious than trying to gauge wear on something like brake pads where you just trust a good brand like raybestos to do its job.
On the other hand, all I did to it was change oil, brake pads, tires and spark plugs. Ran all the time, snow, sun, rain. Drove it everywhere. Put loads of miles on it.
This might not be a popular opinion, but I've never had any problems with my OEM pads or rotors. Truck had the original OEM pads and rotors on it when I bought it, when those wore out I put Raybestos ones on and I was definitely not impressed with their performance. I switched back to OEM and have been happy ever since.
Raybestos is fine for everyday driving actually, wasn\u2019t aware that\u2019s what you had.
I've been using raybestus element 3. Pads and rotors on my Toyotas.
Raybestoes are okay
Over 600 per axle for brakes seems high. I just ordered Raybestos pads and rotors front and back for 250 total from rock. Learning how to fix your car is like paying yourself.
I had bad luck with a set of raybestos I put on my Tlx. Vibrations after 3k miles. Rebedded them, vibes again in 3k.
I installed raybestos and having so many issues with them already feeling warped and noisy brakes.
