I have an unusual question:
Last year, I bought the vehicle listed above in mint condition with only 65,000 when I bought it for $7.000.00.
I learned that the MPV 2006 model has discs brakes on all four wheels. Mine only has them in the front. So, it is possible to remove my drum brakes and replacing them with disc brakes from a 2006 model?
I'd appreciate your timely reply.
thanks, George C

Hello,

It is possible to convert from drum to disk brakes.
However it does require few special adapters when doing so.
Some times you can find a brake conversion kit for certain vehicles.
If you can find a conversion kit, that will be the best way to go as that will have all the adapters and brackets that you will need.
Give you have the right kit the conversion is not much difficult than changing out brake pads, rotors and calipers.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
