And there's a chip in the tire that reads the chip in your brake pad!

I'm running $8 pads on the rear of my '19 Limited. There's no chip and the ABS functions just fine. You are mistaken.

For the guys using D2Moto pads. Try discount code WS25 when you order!

if you notice I said I said I don't know if it makes a difference. Glad to see it seems as though it doesn't.

Very interesting? Not my experience at all.

^^^Correct^^^

When I was at the dealer the rear pads had a chip on them and the front didn't. How does one explain that?
Again they were different part #

Just bought and installed new pads. Brembo from dealer. The front and rear are identical. The rear does have a different part number as it comes with the template and paste. There is no chip?

^^^Correct^^^
The ABS sensors or on the bearing, not the brakes pads.

I posted pictures of the pads, the box and part numbers. Just changed them and absolutely no chips?

thanks all

got another dumb question .

got the tire replaced, how many pounds torque does the front axle get?
Googles search is showing 55 Ft lbs front, 65 rear
('04 Deuce)
any special procedure of tighten, then loosen like some vehicles?
(19K miles, I didn't replace wheel bearing/appears to be fine)

and another on torque, I may pull pull the rotor and polish it on the bench buffer (my version of "po-boy" chrome)
what torque on rotor bolts and do they get loctite?
(I have medium strength on hand)

thanks

..L.T.A.
