    Hawk pad failure

    Have hawk hp+ for rear track pads. Have used them for years without any issues until my last 2 sets.
    Had one pad break the edge off after one use. Hawk warrantied them no problem. Now the new warrantied set broke worse then the first failure. A0099FDF-4917-4A98-97CB-4BCF9A25B3DD.jpegF8028A1D-EE33-430E-AD00-F15DF10C136B.jpeg
    So I think I’m going to switch brands

    almost looks like an adhesive failure or possible bad core with an uneven mounting surface...

    Seems like hawk quality has gone to shit, the older pads were much better, last set of hp+ I got was packaged wrong and I got all outboard pads, they refunded my money and told me
    To keep them pads.
    I have since switched to raybestos st-43 pads

    Is it the same pad location each time? Maybe you have a bad caliper on the one side?

    pads are opposite. most recent one was the drivers side out side pad (leading edge). the other is broken like it was on the other side(also the leading edge)
    both calipers were rebuilt recently by Jon Stewart Power Brake.
