Re: Front Brakes

Thanks I have found out that someone has changed out the bolts on one side with the torx bolts . The other side was 3/8 hex as it was originaly I have gone back to the correct parts 1.95 at the dealer all is good now (frustrating when you don't have the right tool)

Re: Front Brakes

Some loaded aftermarket calipers come with new bolts also so they were different but not unsafe. Loaded means they come with pads.
