03' ranger 4x4 edge rear brakes help!!!!

29001 miles and had to have the rear brake pads replaced....mechanic brought them into me and showed me their was nothing left to them..right down to bare metal. Is this a common problem? Front pads are at 75% seems like the rear brakes are working way harder than the front. Is their a brake bias adjusment..any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Maybe the brake hardware was messed up, or the parking brake could have been sticking.

They are crappy brakes, mine seized....... However, that's the only complaint I have with my 03 edge is the ****ty brakes, other than that, it's been very reliable....

It depends how you drive, and like already mentioned, these aren't the best brakes to begin with. I think I got about 32-35,000 out of stock shoes. Last time I replaced them, I put on Raybestos SuperStop shoes. That made a HUGE difference in itself. Then I replaced the front pads with EBC Greenstuff, and it was like having a totally different truck. It actually stops now !!!!!!
