Quality of Pattern Parts

Fredxxx · 2016-08-22T19:58:57+00:00

On a Mitsubishi L200 (pre 2006) the front brake pads incorporate Acoustic wear indicators. The existing pads have 2 with the indicators and two without. The PAGID part no 101 69 0258 identified for this vehicle has 3 standard pads and one with a wear indicator. This is intended and not a mistake. I would have said that the "quality" is not matched which current law demands. I guess there is generally a subjective opinion but feel in this case the difference is clear. I have asked Mitsubishi and their reply is: "You would need to consult your nearest Mitsubishi dealership for any technical advice. You can find your nearest one using the following link: Further, we cannot advise of any information relating to parts supplied by a third party. A dealership will be more than happy to assist with genuine Mitsubishi parts." Does anyone take responsibility whether car parts are of an inferior standard?

That's most certainly not been my experience.

Fiat Ulysseseseses. That was the front passenger side, dunno if it had anything on the driver's side (was doing a reluctor ring.)
