What did you do to/with your van today?

Replaced front brake pads and rotors.

Got some uneven wear on drivers side. Inner pad had a lot less material than the outer. So much so , that the inner wore down to the backing plate, before the squealer on the outer pad could engage and warn me. Guide pins were lubed and caliper moves freely , so I'm stumped I guess I'll wait and see if it happens again in a few years.

I got some nice fleet grade parts because I hate getting warped rotors. These have 30mm of meat. OEM rotors have 29mm and minimum thickness is 28mm.

...hmmm, something tells me you won't be waiting that long.

And, boy, that IS some one sided - one sided wear.
Not seen that much diff. before.

And... gotta' love that "New Parts Smell".

And... Stack of Plywood / MDF / ? ... looks interesting... Project ?

The brakes had 52,000km / 33,000 mi on them

poplar plywood I believe. I did this at work because my boss has all the nice tools.

Shoot, forgot to ask about that. Is that NAPA only ? All the 'other' places are closer to us by a large margin.
This area has only ADD / confusion parts, O... Really's? and Autojerks/Asszone.

As far as I know, the product line and brand is exclusive to NAPA stores.

However, NAPA doesn't manufacture brake parts. So it's very likely you might find the same product , from the same factory, at a different supplier with a different label slapped on it.

The guy at the counter said if I had any trouble with the at all, I could bring them back and he would work with me. He said never mind store policies ... that he wanted his customers to be happy. That sold me on it.
