I'm a little confused about my brakes for my 1996 Honda Civic EX?

I need to get my brakes replaced but I'm a little confused. I know the front uses brake pads, but does the rear/back also use brake pads? Or should I be purchasing something else for the back?

The best thing to do is crawl under the car and look. The chances are it has brake shoes on the rear.

I looked up your model online local auto parts store, it looks as though you have four wheel disc brakes that calls for pads. If you have rotors then it is disc brakes and calls for pads, if it has drums then it calls for brake shoes.

If you can't get under the vehicle and look to see if there are drums or rotors in the rear believe me you should not be working on your own car!

Yes. All brakes use brake pads and should be inspected and changed. Normally, car are equipped with front disk brakes (which use brake pads) and rear drum brakes (which uses shoes pad) Manufactures tend to use this configuration for brake and cost efficiency.

You should not be doing this work. It's safety critical.

  • Physics problem…so confused?! A Porsche challenges a Honda to a 400 m race. Because the Porsche's acceleration of 3.4 m/s2 is larger than the Honda's 3.0 m/s2, the Honda gets a 100 m head start - it is only 300 m from the finish line. Assume, somewhat unrealistically, that both cars can maintain these accelerations the entire distance. a) Who wins the race? A. Porsche B. Honda C. They finish at the same time D. It is impossible to determine Please explain the process of solving this problem in detail.

The guy I bought the car from said the flywheel is bad. I took it to a shop they said automatics do not have flywheels. Now the 2nd shop says the starter is out and possibly the flywheel.
