Question

Posted

Got my pad kit today. Noticed that when you spin the backing pad in the PC. It seems like it wobbles. But when I install the white one that comes w/ the PC it spins flat. If I can describe it, it would look like ~ if looking at it flat. Is it suppoes to be like that. Will it hurt anything. if you look at the bolt sticking out of the bottom of the pad. It seems like its leaning.

Did you get it correctly centered or is it up on the black outer ring a bit? If you don't get it perfectly centered this will happen... It doesn't hurt anything really.

I think I know what you are talking about and the screw on my backing plate is straight. It sounds like you might have a defective backing plate. You are talking about the gen2's I'm assuming?

Did you install the washer between the bolt and the Gen2 backing plate? If it is tending to wobble you know we will certainly and immediately get you a new one but this is the first I've heard of this happening.

Jason, are you talking about the washer that comes attached to the backing plate? If so, then yes. Its on there. I can try to take a little video if you want. It looks like the bolt is a little off center and tilting. When I get home tomorrow I will try to take a picture of the bolt. Unless you know what I mean and I don't need to bother. Let me know Jason, thanks for the response. I'm anxious to get to using my new PC this weekend, with my Adams supplies. lol

Thanks Jason, got the new pad. Used it today. I did notice that the old one didn't have a black washer on it. It had like a yellow thing. And the new one has a black one. It seems to be better.

I was detailing my truck this weekend and stripped the bolt on my Gen2 backing plate, has this happened to anyone, or does anyone know how to prevent it from happening again? I have no idea as to why it did it, but it may just be worn out, I've got quite a few hours on it!
