Rear Discs and Pads...

[jsthomson]

Hi,

The guy at the garage is trying to tell me that the rear disks/pads have to be bought at renault garage due to the bearings and discs being one as well as the pads..is this true.

Regards,

Well yes and no.
You will avoid a whole world of pain by fitting the renault discs as yes the bearings are part of the unit and aftermarket discs will generally have to have the bearings pushed in. Pads you can fit any.

nope, we supply non genuine ones which are of good quality and come with bearings as well.
We swop over the ABS rings.

From a conversation last week when I had to do some, the price of genuine rear discs with bearings has dropped to a sensible price now.
