Front calipers, was Re: rear wheel bearings
I believe there were two different calipers as the vented system I have on
my pickup now have the thicker pads. Atleast that is the only way I can
explain why I can use the thicker pads. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong but
the pads I'm using are about 3/4" or so not the samll thin pads. HTH!
