Description

Brake Pads: Your Mitsubishi's Lifesaver! (Featuring TRW)
> Right, let's talk about brake pads. These little legends are what stand between you and a nasty ding, pressing against your rotors to bring your pride and joy to a smooth, safe stop. But like any hard worker, they wear down over time, especially with all that stop-and-go city driving we do in our Magnas, Veradas, and Diamantes. When they're knackered, your braking performance takes a dive — and that's not just a bit inconvenient, it's downright dangerous.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing or grinding noises when braking.
• Increased stopping distance.
• Vibration through the brake pedal.
• A soft or spongy brake pedal feel.
• Visible wear on the brake pads (less than 3mm of friction material remaining).
Will it pass WOF?
No, worn brake pads will fail a WOF inspection. The minimum legal thickness for brake pads in New Zealand is generally 1.5mm, but most mechanics recommend replacement at 3mm for safety and performance.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty rating: 5/10 (Moderate)
Estimated time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools required: Jack, jack stands, lug wrench, C-clamp or brake caliper piston tool, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and potentially a wire brush.
Expert Recommendation
Replacing your brake pads is essential for maintaining vehicle safety and performance. Worn pads compromise your ability to stop effectively, which is a significant risk, especially in New Zealand's varied driving conditions. The TRW brake pads are an excellent choice, known for their quality and consistent performance, making them ideal for the Mitsubishi Magna, Verada, and Diamante. Bob @ CARFIX is always on hand to help you work out exactly what part you need for your Mitsubishi. Make sure you head over to Bob's Shop for a chat!
Fitment Notes
These brake pads are specifically designed for a wide range of Mitsubishi models, including the Mitsubishi Verada i (1996-1997), Mitsubishi Magna i (1999-2000), Mitsubishi Diamante (2003-2005), and many other variants across different years. Always double-check the specific year and model of your Mitsubishi to ensure correct fitment.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
