How does the cable actuate the hydraulic disk brakes? Is there a
separate set of pads for the parking brake? Does the cable actuate a
separate master cylinder that applies the brakes?

Re: 05 Elantra GLS 5-Door, Rear brake pads wore out at 14K miles
.....I remember when I was a kid and a new licensee....My older cousin was up
from Maryland with his newish Audi Fox. He let me and a buddy take it for a
joy ride. We went 20 or so sluggish miles. It smelt really bad when we
pulled into the driveway! You can guess... we went those miles with the
E-brake set. What a knucklehead I was.

So you'd rather have inferior brakes just because they last longer?
The original poster's situation is not at all typical of the rear disc
brakes on the Elantra.

That is only because the rears aren't working properly.
