Hello All,
2016 CX5 2.2D 175HP
From across the pond here (England) with a brake issue / query. I think that my brakes are sticking so I pulled one of the rear calipers today (that was definitely binding yesterday) and cleaned then regreased pads and sliders today (they were packed with white dried lithium grease), it feels better now. The pads were replaced by an independent garage 3 months ago.
Question 1 - How hot should the discs get under normal use? As one of my front ones gets hot enough to burn if you touch it and the other 3 are quite hot...
Question 2 - Should the brake pads have shims? I've noticed the Mazda originals come with shims and the ones fitting by my independent don't, I'm thinking maybe I should buy Mazda pads and discs and just change them myself anyway?
Thanks for the feedback in advance and if you need anymore info please ask.
