hi all im new to renaults and need your help very fast
i just did the brakes on a friends clio diesel.
now when i put the new pads back on the front they stick out half a cm from the disk. the old set up was rotten but the pads sat right in on the hub. (the rear of the disk had collapsed from the same distance as the pad sticks out passed the disk)
now the new stuff going on is exactly the same as the old stuff but the pads are confusing me......the brakes are now fine but how dangerous is this? the pads are competley enclosed......do they slide down the disc after some wear and tear or whats the deal???
is this normal?
basically the whole pad isnt in conatct with disk, but the parts are identical to those taken off. they were sat in same position in caliper but were a lot close to the hub. do french cars tend to push the pads in over time??
first ive seen it on any car but this is first diesel renault ive touched!!!
ps its a Y reg clio diesel
help lol
ps check the pic of the rear of the disk thats just corroded lol.......the corrosion is the same as the amount of pad that isnt in contact with disk....huge pic sorry
