I know this has been discussed ad nausiam on the board before the switch over to the new server began but since those archives are not yet online i want to ask the question again.
i recently replaced my rear rotors and bearings and pads. I did this becasue the old ones were squeeling up a storm, and the rotor thickness was just at that "nominal tolerence thickness" so i fugured what the hell i'll just replace them.
I used lockheed rotors and the lockheed pads.but after about 2 days they are back to squeeling like a stuck pig. ain't that a bitch. i know the lockheed pads did not have the beveled edges on them i saw it when i installed them, and i suspect that taking the pads out and grinding the bevel into them will help eleviate some of the squeel. at least that is what i have been told. however is this really just a waste of my time? should i just pony up and order the LR genuine like i should have in the first place?
and before anyone suggests it i used the red antisqueel goop on the backs of the pads before i installed. but i think the only thing that goop did for me was lighten my wallet by $7.00.
