Brake pad does not fit 2009 Legacy


Recommended Posts

I have a 2009 Legacy sedan 2.5i limited. Got rear brake pad part num OEM 26696AE040 from Subaru dealer. Turns out the width at the bottom is more at around 13 or 14 mm while my current brake pads are 10 mm. See picture. New brake pad does not fit caliper.

 

Part # 26696AG031 seems to have the same bigger width too.

 

Not sure now what brake pads should I order now.

Never thought about paying for OEM pads. Take them back, get your money back and go to the local auto parts store and buy the right pads for less money.

FWIW, I seem to recall back when I did the first set of rear brakes on my wagon, I used WRX rear pads. At that time, the auto parts stores didn't list parts for a 2005 GT yet. Just checked my book, that was May 24 2006. Wagon had 50,100 miles.
