Sorry for the delay in posting. My ‘97 beauty sold within a week for my asking price. I’m sure going to miss my 850. Said the same thing in 1983 when I sold my ‘67 P1800!

I talked to the guy at the auto parts store where I purchased them and even he admitted that the pads were J...

I changed out my caliper, pads and rotor last week and noticed a similar squeal sound coming from my drivers side front.
