Just picked up my car from Direct Tire and the front Mintex pads went on without a hitch. However, they said that the rears were not the correct pads. Hmmm...<p>The part # I have for the rear pads that are in my posession are MDB1191AF.<p>Also on the box is: <br>M1202 <br>E1<br>90R-01021/196<br>W.V.A. 20 668 16.60<p>Geez, they sure do put quite a few numbers on that box!<p>Can anyone make sense of this for me? Do I have the correct rear pads based on these numbers?<p>Thanks,<br>Mike

This is the label from the rears.
I just had my brother read the box label for me... and the numbers do match yours!<br>MD1191AF. Even the 90R number string is the same. Now, I didn't get those other numbers you posted, but I assume these are the same also.<br>I don't know what to tell you, Mike. My suggestion is; if you are up to it, jack up the (one) rear side, take the wheel out and check for yourself. It should be pretty easy to "eye" it. <p>Good luck.<p>Cris<br>

I wrote down the numbers that were on my rear pads in case I ever needed to reference them:<p>Mintex 0008A17MM1202 FF<br>90R-01021/196<p>See if some of the numbers match up to yours. (I presume some of the numbers would translate to a manufacturing facility and date produced, but others should indicate the part number.)<p>Jim Meyer<br>'98.5 2.8QMS

I will have Andrew at Camra talk with the installer at Direct Tire on Monday. I already paid for the whole job, and was told to just come back with the correct pads and they will finish. Andrew thinks that Direct Tire assumed they wouldn't fit because without depressing AND rotating some thingamajiggy, they may appear not to fit. However, it seems as though Andrew will set them straight Monday and I will have the job completed. Thanks for all your help Cris, Jim and Rob. By the way, the fronts feel great in the limited driving I have done.<p>Mike<br>

Mickael,<br>I just checked My Mintex Box the Numbers are correct. Perhaps Direct did not compress the pistons all the way. I was in the Norwood 11:00 or so Were you in Watertown??<br>PeterV
