Greetings all: Getting ready to do the rear brakes (pads/rotors) - 2008 model car has about 65k on the clock, and as is common the rears are going away first. The parts are on order - all except the brake pad wear sensor(s). I think that the sensor(s) can be re-used if the warning light has not come on (which it has not), but I'm going to put in new anyway. The big question is: How many brake pad wear sensors are in the rear? I have read one per axle, and one parts supplier claims that there are two. Which is it? Thanks in advance!

I just replaced my front rotors and pads and I only had one sensor (left side)

some of the older models had them on all 4 corners but now the modern ones are only on the passenger side. 1 front 1 rear is what you have. and yes you can reuse if the light hasnt come on.

On my car there were only sensors on the right side wheels.

Without a VIN the sensors are either on the R or L rear wheels!!

sooo how many sensors would i need for a 08 c350

the question has already been answered. 1 sensor per axle and they can be re used if the light hasnt come on yet.

It seems there are variations over the years. My 2012 only had 2 sensors 1 front and 1 back driver side.
