Brake pads

Post by miketree » Mon Jan 14, 2013 10:14 am

When I bought my '99 vit, there was a box of brake pads in the boot.

The box is labelled SJ410.

Are these compatible, or did somebody buy the wrong ones?

not that it'll help much with this problem but I've got an app on my phone called teccat. I think for the iphone it'll be tecdoc. hut they cross over part numbers for most makes. its really handy for at work.

got it from Google play store

The little pic on the box looks like Lucas/Girling 48mm piston caliper pads to me, as fitted to - well, all small 4x4 zuks at one time or another, I think - if not as factory, definitely as a bodge by someone.

Take one of the front wheels off and see if the brake pads in your calipers have the little spring thingy at the top - it should kinda poke out of the caliper (sort of, from memory). If not, take a picture of the caliper and maybe we can tell you which pads you need.
