Title: Update to wheel noise/pads
Post by: Teebee on 07 March 2009, 11:47:06

Another thank you for advice received, calipers freed up, discs and pads changed and everything is nice and quiet again.

And just so you can say "I told you so"!

First set of pads were Mintex, even after cleaning and sanding the caliper bracket they would just about fit inside it but they wouldn't move at all. When you looked at them the top and bottom edges weren't straight, they were angled at about 5-10 degrees.

Refund and back to Vx for a set that slipped straight in :D

Yes, I have had pads that were a tad too small, I have ground a few mil off them before now.  ::)
