I remember seeing it somewhere that rear brakes do not give out warnings on instrument panel when the pads goes out, only the front brake does,

is this true ??

Yes

So how would you know that your read break are worn out? noise?

The normal way... look at them, and often enough that you can predict when they will wear out. While you're at it, you should be inspecting lots of things on your car every once in a while: belts, air filters, oil level, tire pressure, harmonic balancer, and so on.

is there a good way to visually inspect w/o removing the tires ??

how long do they typically last in the rear? my car is at 37,000 miles

thanks !

Rear brakes last quite a while. You should be ok for a while longer.

There's no good way to inspect the brakes without removing the wheels.
