..hi guys.. I would appreciate if you could take a moment and look at links provided and confirm for me, are these pads(front and rear), suitable for my truck, so i can place an order. Also, if you happen to know some other online store where i can get brake pads cheaper that does ship to Malaysia, please let me know. Thank you very much.
Front pads link: https://www.lrparts.net/sfp000260-ferodo-b...wards.html Rear pads link: https://www.lrparts.net/sfp000250f-ferodo-...clips.html Truck is Puma 2.2, 2014, 110 Double Cab |

..thank you very much for confirmation. Ill post update, after i receive items and install..disc are fine, but probably some half life of new pads ill have to change discs as well. Truck is only used in urban areas and never used for anything heavy/off road so probably that is reason why discs are still fine..

..i have received items and everything went smooth..what surprised me is, quantity of brake fluid i had to remove with syringe after i pushed caliper cylinders back prior to installation of new brake pads..another surprise was fact that front pads were in much better condition than rear one..I mean, difference is really significant..front pads still had some good 5mm of material left, while rear pads were puny 1mm, almost gone completely..I guess size of pads plays role in this as front one is significantly larger, but still surprise...I thought front will go much much faster than rear pads...
After installation, brakes are a bit 'spongy' but i can feel its coming back to what it was before, after driving truck around a bit.. |

For a Puma 110 the rear pads do wear a lot faster than the front ones.
Changing pads early while their is still a reasonable amount of friction material present is a good idea. Else the exposed elements of the pistons can corrode, causing them to leak or stick when they are pushed back to install new pads. |
