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,,
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

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

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 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
Tony

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.
