Thank you for the clarification. I have an old Evo.. ‘85.. bought it new and have never heard the front brake pads referred to as “ pucks”.
Learn something new everyday.
Darndest thing. I do not understand how that brake pad could come loose and get through the narrow opening between the caliper and the rotor. It seems impossible but it did. I heard it hit the underside of the fender. Inspection shows the fiber pad/puck actually separated from the metal backing. I'd a never thunk it. Oh well live and learn. I'm lookin at it and still can't see how it got out of there. Ya can't drive a bus through a needle hole. I'm happy the caliper piston didn't pop out. Its all good.
Perhaps the bonding agent was not put on correctly at the factory. What type pads (pucks) were you using?
Those pads were new and EBC. Been using that brand forever with no problem. I will add that the rotor was not hot so I don't know what would affect the bonding material for the fiber. Oh well. Try another set.
A new chrome front end, billet wheels, chrome floating rotors and new pads again will go on that old girl this winter. So just tryin to stay safe and reliable for the rest of the year.
You Might Send the Backing Plate Back to EBC, If I gave a Crap about my product, I would want to See a failure.... Hell, They might send you a new set! Then again, We live in a Brave new world.
