Default RE: Brakes + wheel bearing

Hi ya,

make sure that when you buy them you buy all ATE as they are original OEM supplier. I had textar, warped the fronts in 6 months and the back in under a year from europarts. The shims do make a lot of difference.

Another one when buying your wheel bearings make sure they have the right number of lugs holes as when i purchased mine i had one 4 and one 5 lugged version!!!! even in the right packaging. You don't get a new NUT for the wheel and bearing grease though. With the Volvo kit i eventually had for the one side its all in. The prices difference was noticeable.

I now go to Volvo as a whole and use the bit of discount i get lucky as i slowly renovate my car....

mark.
