Q: How many brakes are on a 2006 mercury mountaineer awd?

asked by on August 09, 2017

I need to get my rotors replaced. Some people have told me that I have rotors and pads on all four wheels due to the car being AWD. Others have told me I only have two in the front. So my question is, how many brakes are on my car?

My car has 157000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
