brake pad backing plate

[cuzman]

i've had the front end off for a while and when i went to put the pads back in the calipers a steel plate off the back of the pad fell off! i just shoved it in anyway for now but is ther a type of glue that can fix this issue as the pads are very meaty and worked very well before i removed them?

Those plates always fall off... the p[ads are so poorly made they never stay on.... that's anotehr disagrace of the manufactures making crap products... I just stick those back on, and hope the pressure between the pad and the caliper hold them on. They align by the rivet holes and barely hold til the the calipers are tightened up. You would think some automative safety instute would jump ont he manufacturees for making shit products, they should not fal off like they do.


As afar as some glue.. I don't know... but it is a farce.. the clowns that make these get away with such a crappy job when they make those. even the premium quality ones fall apart after only a few hundred miles...

ther the std pad mate...from my front cut....and i would but im on a very tight budget
new pads arnt much but if i can get a glue for cheap that will fix it ..well thats what im after.
if it were up to me and had the money i'd grab some new crossdrilled discs and pads
but cant aford them yet!
my right hub bearing and hub insert is gunna cost me over $250.00 au
I normaly use bendex pads as a replacment..and disks from DBA..disc brakes australia
ther discs rock as they are custom but suit many cars..better cooling

I don't know I have never had a new pad fall off and I have done alot of brake changes in the past 6 months at my co-op. It falls off, it doesn't go on the car!. Some are rivited on...
