Hey all. I installed Bendix Tit. pads with new rotors from Stazi back in 2003. Since then I have put ~ 30K miles on them with the past year consisting of only traveling ~ 40 miles/week. I do not abuse the car in any way with the car being used mostly as a commuter car for work.
Anyhow, while driving around last week I heard a big thud and noticed a shimmering from the front left wheel. I sat the car for a week until I could change the brakes this weekend. Well, I'll let the picture do most of the speaking... but 3 out of 4 of the front pads seperated from the backing plate. The left front, inside pad was half missing.
While changing the fronts I also swapped my wheels & tires from the Winters to the FSVT 17's. I did not anticipate the rears having the same problem, but low and behold upon inspecting the right rear, the inside pad had NO pad... just the backing plate.
