All,
I just did a brake job on my Fit. The original pads lasted a little over 110k miles and still has some life in in on the other pads but the inner pads needed replacement. The rotors are still good but I put new painted rotors on anyway since I already bought the parts and the time and mileage warrant additional caution.
The mistake I made is that I didn't write down the order the caliper guide pins when I took them out for re-greasing. I also didn't write down the order I put them back in. My wife drove it for about 110 miles and the mpg is only 29.6 instead of the typical 32-24 she had been averaging but we also changed gas station from BJ's to Royal Farm so I can't tell if something is sticking or whatever. As it is not my daily driver, I don't recall which rpm it should be at various speed but paranoid butt-dyno feels like the vehicle isn't traveling as smooth as it should be; something could be dragging.
Is the order of that guide pin that critical? Can it cause pad dragging?
Thanks.
