New Brake pads with odd extra item fitted.

I recently had my brake pads changed as they were getting a little low. I thought they had about 5 mm left but the dealer said they needed replacing.

I agreed to new pads and disc rotors as the car has done close to 70000 kms and i thought that was reasonably fair.


After getting them fitted i noticed an extra item on the pad that was not there before.

It is like a little metal spacer to keep the pad aligned or something.

Does anyone know why it is now part of the pad?

I tried adding a picture to this post but cant seem to work out how to add it.
I will try and add a second reply with the picture. Disco 4 SE

Land Rover's justification for grossly inflated prices? Aren't they solid silver around a large diamond? Wink

Look like little harmonic dampers to me. Usually added to change the natural frequency of vibration. They probably had a vibration/noise issue.

This is very interesting. I have a recurrence of a vibration through the steering wheel, which disappeared 10k ago after front pads & discs replaced. I guess I should check discs for run out, but if ok, maybe I should change my pads for these puppies Neutral
