    Hi.

    I got a set of Wagner frontf replacement brake pads for my '95 LeBaron
    V-6 3.0L and then I read in the shop manual about the wear sensor. I
    don't think these after market pads have them.

    OTOH, I think the pads that have worn out were OEM, and I didn't hear
    anything from the wear sensors, so is there any point in my going out
    of my way to buy pads that have wear sensors??


    I don't drive much so I bought the low priced pads. If I bought the
    expensive set (also by Wagner) would they have the sensors or do I
    have to go to Chrysler?

    Also, it says to use Mopar multi-purpose lubricant. Am I likely to
    have anything like that around the house?. I have white grease and
    lithium grease, etc. If it is not Mopar but it's still called
    multi-purpose lubricant, and its for sale an auto-parts store, is that
    the same or close enough? (IIRC a friend let me use his in the past,
    but he moved.)

    Thanks a lot.

    (I know I asked about brakes quite a while ago, but I've been
    borrowing a car on the days I need one, and waiting for the weather to
    be warm enough that I can work outside.)

    I looked for wear sensor for this group in groups.google and found 3
    theads, but all were about the sensor actually making noise.

    me know if you have posted also.
