Not sure if it will help but lots of stuff inhere about using genuine pads and discs I do with no issues what so ever on one occasion my local garage fitted brembo discs and some awful pads and the brakes nearly played a tune swapped to original parts all good |

I did take the rear shims off to clean and neither caliper was rusty under them (of which 1 caliper is only 6 months old).

if it's the rear, have you looked at the brake shoe locating pins on the hand brake have they pulled through the back plate/mud shield altogether or partially?

Not sure what's the issue is with the brakes but the wheel studs should never be greased as the tightening torque to ensure they don't loosen is 'dry' i'e no grease. The torque needed to hold them properly when lubricated may well stretch the studs which would be very bad...... 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |
