I'm replacing the pads on my wife's 2016 CX-5 Touring and ordered the following based on the part numbers I found online for this application (sites like Tirerack listed these numbers):
https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) - Front 105.16230
https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) - Rear 105.16240
I did them tonight. I had no issues with the fronts, but the rear pads I got don't seem to fit correctly. They are shorter in width than the OEM pads, and shaped slightly differently. I noticed when I was wondering why one pad "ear" wasn't even touching the groove when the other ear was in. I should've taken a picture, but didn't think of it before I had the original rear pads back on.
Anyways, has anyone replaced their rears with Centric pads? I find it hard to believe that Centric would make a front pad kit for this car but not a rear kit. I checked the part numbers printed on the pads, and they match the 105.16240 on the box. Evidently this kit just doe
If anybody has any experience with finding the right rear pads, please let me know. I'm not a novice as I work on my BMW M3 all the time, and was somewhat surprised how hard it was to find the right parts for my Mazda compared to the BMW.
Thanks.
