Subject: Re: Did rear bearings and brakes, something weird on the right rear brake. Look by RestoMod57 on 2011/2/22 21:24:30 Sorry Steve, I looked at mine (off the car, actually not installed yet), and the inner pad's wear tab is at the rear of the caliper when on the car. For left and right calipers, that's the only way the pads fit. So the wear tab is closest to the e-brake lever (with spring). My brakes are from a 1995. The picture here shows where taper is measured, in between the pads when they are installed. Measure both left and right. The difference should not be more than 0.15mm. But since you have driven on your pads, they may have already worn enough to make the margin bigger. CC may be correct in that the pad surface may not be engineered to contact the entire rotor, BUT when I removed the old pads and rotors, a complete contact patch was evident. My pads are Raybestos and model specific. Hawk should be the same though. Hope this helps, Steve M. |
