Default Brake Paste
Applied to Rear Pads but not Front Pads. Why?


I've read where the paste is there for vibrations reasons but have not found anything on why it only applies to the Rear Brake Pads.

On what? In any event, most likely the rear rotor is a solid mount and the fronts are semi or full floating.
