DaveHerns Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 The friction material on the pads is "stepped" Why ? Does this mark the point at which you change the pads ? Quote
paul.h Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I do not know why there are stepped, but they are the same on the mark 1 hatchback when you buy new ones, must have been a design change since the originals ones were different. I also found they would make a clunk noise, possibly the pad back plates are narrower so they do not seize but have more play. Citroen have added a new shim to the rear pads on the mark 1 and 2 models which clips under the spring so it rests across the top of the pads and this has stopped the clunk. This shim can be seen on the service.citroen parts diagrams, part no. 4407 21 and costs £14 for the 2 brakes (also £1.60 for new springs). Quote
