Rear Pads, rear disc brakes, iq type

Hi Gordon

Can you recommend a good quiet rear brake pad for a 2001 Mazda 626, 2.5 with rear disc brakes.

Recently installed Bendix Rear Pads and they are noisy. Also installed new shims, cleaned and greased caliper pins and slides, as well as applied anti squeal to the backs of the pads.

Also, are Bendix pads known to be noisy?

Thanks for the advice

Mike H

Hey Mike,
    I'm really surprised to hear that you were having a problem with the Bendix pads.They are really good pads. Because of your current issues, I recommend going back and swapping your pads.Maybe trade up to the Bendix IQ type. IQ stands for "Import Quiet."I have yet to have a problem with those. I would also recommend that you consider having your rotors resurfaced,or purchasing new ones.  I know that there are some parts stores that can resurface rotors right there in the store, but if they don't offer that service, they can definately point you in the right direction as far as where to go. Good luck!
