kaitanium Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Anyone know if the brake wear indicator on brake pads should be on the inside or outside of the caliper? Doesnt sound like it would matter or make a huge deal in terms of safety? Doesnt hit the rim if installed on the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starionesir Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I've always installed them on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrD123 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 they are usually placed on the inside pad (well - obviously you could swap them around, but inside is the norm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Yep, inside is normal. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

hal9e3 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Inside, because the LGT's brakes are single piston which push from the inside, so you will see slightly faster wear on the inside. I'm not sure the squealer will even fit on the outside. I run Carbotech Bobcats, which don't have a BWI, so I have to check them visually:( On the bright side they're easy to rotate if I'm feeling cheap!

kaitanium Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 that makes sense. my outback is a dual piston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 LGTs are dual piston as well. He must be referring to something else. Floating vs fixed caliper maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal9e3 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I guess I meant that the piston(s) are on the inside only. There's no piston on the outside, only a caliper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
