[QUOTE="Forgalspop, post: 3672373, member: 46636"] I have for many years used Wagner ThermoQuiet pads with great results, with them lasting up to 150,000 miles or more. Recently I purchased Wagner ThermoQuiet pads from RockAuto for my wife's Subaru Outback and replaced the front and rear pads. I ordered them from RockAuto because they were much cheaper than from O'Reilly's. Now the brake pads are creating a bunch of brake dust on the rims, I have never had that issue before with Wagner ThermoQuiet pads. So I am wondering if RockAuto gets pads cheaper from Wagner that are inferior or if Wagner has cheapened up their pads? The other days I sold a 2,006 Chevy 3500 15 passenger van that I had installed ThermoQuiet pads at 100,000 miles and replaced them at 258,000 miles and they still were only 1/2 worn. I replaced them because I replaced the rotors that had became slightly warped. I also replaced the front hubs at that time. Never had a brake dust issue with those pads. I have a 1993 Ford Ranger pickup with ThermoQuiet pads and it has no issues with brake dust. So I am thinking it's a RockAuto issue or Wagner not making the pads to the same quality as in the past and living off their past reputation. I would be curious if anyone else has similar issues with the Wagner ThermoQuiet pads? [/QUOTE]
