The wear indicator is usually located on the backside, of the inside pad. If you replaced them two months ago, chances are that the pads are still good, and the indicator isn't even close to touching yet. Did you install them with any anti squeel on the shims, and lube up the piston top?

My buddy has turned in two sets now.. no issue. They're limited to misuse, not wear. My pads are still running strong. I don't expect to bring them in for another year at least.

They say bring back the old pads when they are worn....if you are the person who bought the pads...lifetime warranty doesn't transfer with change of ownership...I haven't actually replaced my set but am assuming it won't be a problem

Problems - Thoughts?
Hey Everyone,
I replaced my front rotors and pads, going with duralast rotors and CMAX gold pads.
But I'm having some real post-job issues.....
- On the passenger's side, the caliper piston doesn't seem to be putting pressure on the pads. I went for a test drive, and there was still some rust (from a wash) and a tiny smudge of grease on the rotor.
- On the driver's side, I'm getting heavy dusting. Probably because it is doing the work for both sides.
- When driving, my front end feels "rough". A shush....shush.....shush sound can be heard at low speeds. And you can feel sort of a light grinding feel in the pedals.
Do I need to get new calipers? Any ideas?

Yes, Autozone is the only place that you can get the "Duralast CMAX GOLD" pads. As far as I know. If anyone else knows of someplace else that sells Duralast for cheaper, post it up. As for price, I paid $65 for them in NM. That is a really good price for front pads. How much cheaper do you want them?
