Don't worry about genuine
Bendix 4x4 work great and u can get them everywhere.

im just worried about it as most of the boys say get genuine as it can stuff up the ABS causing the 3 amigos (which i have anyway)

I use these and havn't got a problem with them.

Doesn't log any codes with use, so no preety lights to look at;)

The 3 amigoes,, bless their tiny little orange hearts,,:angel:
lots of things can make them appear,,
and yes, brake squeal is one of them,,,


I fitted new front rotors and pads last year which I thought would eliminate the slight squeal I was getting at almost stopped speed,,
only to find they made no difference,, the noise was coming from the rears :angel:;):D

lot of posts on here about which brake pads people fit

The only sure way to know which ones will or wont squeal is to just fit'em, get'em hot and stand on 'em:D

ok well thats it then done to the auto shop i go.

The other key to preventing the 3 boys is to use pad paste :cool: No paste and you'll get a squeal.

Bendix on both mine from just after new and neither vehicle ever had the 3 amigo fault in its life.

Tombie,

What is pad paste, where do you get it and what is the branding?

Thanks

About a decade ago when I spanered it was an red paste.
Came in a squeeze bottle for easy use.
Stick a bit to the back of the pads where it contacts the caliper.
Possibly from any of the major parts shops.

I bought mine from british off road at 50000kms they were genuine and a good price.

I used a spray on product I got from super cheap. It was also super sticky, which had the benefit of making it really easy to put calliper back on. pads stuck to the calliper.

You can also get thin pads to put on the back of the disc pads to do the same as the paste.

I have always run EBC Green Stuff pads... Never had a problem.. also provided much better braking.... Last change needed to do the front discs and stuck a pair of slotted discs in - Stops soooo much better - especially noticable with trailer and the back filled up with gear!Just need to uprade the dogs grip as she can't deal with the g forces!!!
