Brake pads that don't quite fit Posted by PaulS [Email] (#676) [Profile/Gallery] (more from PaulS) on Tue, 19 Jul 2011 20:43:11 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I bought some front brake pads from Rockauto because they were on close out and the price was good. I stuck them on the shelf until I needed them.
I went to install a set and found that they don't fit. It's close but they don't fit - they are too far away from the hub and hit the caliper bracket.
Just looking at the pads, you can see that the shape is different than say an OEM pad. (You have to remove the plastic wrapping which I did not do when I first got them). The pads are angular instead of rounded.
The brand is Axxis Metal Master. This is a brand I have had good results with in the past.
If you go to the rockauto web site and browse the pads available, you will see some are shaped like the OEM pads and some are shaped like the ones I bought. Has anyone else experienced this?
