Heard a strange noise coming from the rear wheels...

<< < (2/3) > >>

Xtremeteam:
pair of rear calipers will fix it :wink:

narked:
Well I'll see how this lot go, and if (more likely when!) the same problem appears, I'll go down that route then. Cheers for the info!

Arightpest:
Try drilling a hole through both pads and fitting a split pin through both pads because it only drops the pad closer to the disk. Placing the pin through the pads stops the pad dropping if you drill the hole in the raised bit of the pad in the centre it stops it happening. I have used this method devised by simdeb and it works. Pads still wear ok but no extra marks on the hub. Have a go my motor past its mot with this mod and the pads are still going strong. I used the split pins from the front disk pads they work a treat.

ps sorry no photo's

Range Rover Blues:
So you are adding a 3rd pin on each side then? might give that a try as on my LSE I have trouble with the pads jamming in the calliper and running hot.

Arightpest:
Sorry for the delay

Yes a 3rd pin is fitted in the middle and it stops the problem from doing it again. You don’t have to replace the callipers and for the cost of a front pad retaining clips its pennies rather than pounds. That’s got to be good.  I would love to pinch the credit for the idea but this one belongs to simdeb. Smart [!Expletive Deleted!]. lol
