I swapped out my rear Wagner fleet pads as they were nearing the last 25% for the Akebono 1194. I did not realize the new pads came without hardware...(sigh) but my old hardware seemed good. I needed the 1194A.
When I installed them, I noticed the fit was a little sloppy in the hardware. My hardware was still good so I went with that. After a few days they started squealing alot. I reached out to Rockauto and they sent me a fresh set with hardware...props to them trying to help.
However same deal, good bit of squeal, I thought maybe my caliper bracket was worn, but the last 2 sets of pads fit perfectly, also when I reinstalled the fleet pads, they fit perfectly.
This was the difference in the mounting tabs, quite a difference, Akebono on bottom.
Also, with my caliper, they measured about .5 MM shorter compared to the Wagner pads, this was verified by Akebono that they are indeed .4 MM shorter.
That's a good bit of play, and they really rattle around in the caliper.
Has anyone had similiar issues?
