Full review of brake pads for Lada Kalina Which pads should be installed on Kalina 1 and 2

The Lada Kalina, regardless of generation, uses front disc and rear drum brakes.

The process of stopping the machine is accompanied by wear of the pads, so they must be periodically replaced.

It’s easy to do it yourself, and if difficulties arise, it is recommended to watch a thematic video.

Article number and estimated cost of original front pads

The first generation Lada Kalina was equipped with brake disc pads with article numbers 21100-3501080-01 and 21100-3501080-00. Their price ranges from 460 to 500 rubles. The service life of the pads depends on the driving style and for most car owners it is 35-45 thousand km.

New brake pads have been developed for Lada Kalina 2. Their article number is 11180-3501080-00, and the price is 260-290 rubles. Consumables are not interchangeable with products for Kalina 1. Their service life can reach 60-70 thousand km, but usually replacement is required at 40 thousand km. The same pads are installed on the Lada Kalina Cross.

There are pads for Lada Kalina Sport. They are installed as tuning on standard cars, but this requires replacing the caliper. Consumables have improved performance characteristics.

Fake production, such as AvtoVAZ

As you probably already guessed, I drove just 8,000 kilometers on these pads, after which they turned into black dust left on the disks of my Kalina. I remember I picked them up at the car market for a price of about 230 rubles. And as the seller assured me, it was exactly the original from AvtoVAZ, which I, of course, later doubted, because my factory ones went about 30,000 km and weren’t even half worn out, but I’ll tell you why I replaced them a little later. So I don’t advise anyone to buy cheap ones, especially in the car market, otherwise, in the worst case, you might end up having to replace the brake discs.

Lada Kalina cars of both generations have front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
As original front brake pads for Kalina 1, the catalogs indicate 21100-3501080-00 and 21100-3501080-01, for Lada Kalina 2 the article number is 11180-3501080-00. The same catalog numbers are used for Lada Priora. Factory brake pads TIIR

Rear drum brake pads are specified as 21080-3502090-01 or 11180-3502090-10 (with ABS) for Kalina 1 and 2.

Many of these part numbers are invalid; instead, online parts stores offer other original part numbers or equivalents. This makes sense, since in the case of the Lada Kalina (and LADA in general), the original is often inferior in quality to its substitutes .

The most popular brake pad analogues are Ate, Brembo, TRW, TSN, Finwhale and Ferodo. The latter are divided into two types according to the color of the box - “red” and “green”. “Green” ones, with the prefix Target in the name, are positioned by the manufacturer as an improved replacement for factory pads , but they are not intended for heavy loads. Red, with the prefix Premier, are considered premium pads that can withstand extreme loads.

The best-selling disc brake pads for Lada Kalina are products from Ate, followed by TRW. Drum brake pads for Kalina are most often purchased from TSN due to its favorable price. They are slightly inferior in popularity to TRW and Ate pads.

According to the rating of brake pads for Lada Kalina on PartReview dated 04/02/20, owners prefer TIIR products. Manufacturers TRW, Trialli and Ferodo also stand out.

The brake pads indicated here are also suitable for other VAZ cars: 2110, 2114, Lada Granta and others, with R13 and R14 brake discs.

Front brake pads are replaced approximately twice as often as rear brake pads. The exact frequency of replacement is quite difficult to establish, but the front pads are changed at intervals of 30-50 thousand km, and the rear pads at intervals of 60-90 thousand. To more accurately determine when Lada Kalina brake pads need to be replaced, it is worth checking the thickness of the friction linings every 15,000 km. A thickness of about 2 mm is considered critical.

When stopping, the rear axle does not bear the main braking force. Therefore, a more important characteristic for drum pads is their quietness. Original consumables cannot boast of the absence of squeaks and squeaks. Because of this, car owners prefer analogues from third-party brands, the best of which are listed below.

Replacing front pads on Kalina

Instructions for replacing the front brake pads are given below.

• Jack up the car.
• Remove the front wheel.
• Turn the steering wheel to make it easier to replace the pads.
• Bend the locking plate.

• Insert a screwdriver and press in the brake piston. If this is not done at this stage, then later you will need to use a clamp.

• Open the caliper bracket.

• Remove old pads. If necessary, rearrange the anti-violin plates.

• Install the pads in their seats.

• Reassemble everything in the reverse order of removal.

• Check the operation of the brakes. A decrease in the intensity of stopping the car is associated with running in the pads

Entry three. Brakes.

In this post we will talk about rear brakes. Not long ago I began to notice that the rear brakes began to over-braking and make rustling sounds when braking. Over-braking the rear axle in icy conditions does not cause any positive emotions, and even more so if your wife is driving. Therefore, it was decided to quickly look for the cause. When I bought the car, I promised myself and everyone around me that in the near future I would only drive, and do only the most necessary things, without fanaticism. Yeah... Figurines. The poet’s soul couldn’t stand it... A plan was immediately born in my head about what needed to be changed. Absolutely everything was replaced except the hub itself and the handbrake cables. As they say, change is change :) On the first trip after buying the car, I had a strong feeling that it was time for the rear wheel bearings to retire. As a result, the list of necessary things included: 1. Rear wheel bearings 2. Rear brake pads (preferably ATE) 3. Rear brake cylinders (preferably ATE) 4. Brake drums (only factory and nothing else)

After going to the store, I was a little puzzled by the fact that the choice of brake pads for Viburnum with ABS is very small. To be more precise, only two companies. Either the factory or NIPPON. I came home and started smoking viburnum forum. And in fact, there is no choice. And the culprit is the ABS sensor, which is visible through the brake pad. Well, in the end I decided to buy NIPPON. I went to the store and bought: 1. Rear wheel bearings SS-20 At first impressions, the bearings left positive emotions. Beautifully packaged, nut as a gift, detailed installation instructions.

2. NIPPON rear brake pads. At first I thought the company was so-so. It turned out to be a Japanese company (well, of course I don’t know if it’s Japan, but something like that). I also liked how everything was packaged, everything was beautiful, napkin, instructions, etc.

3. Rear brake cylinders ATE.

4. Brake drums factory.

On the weekend I went to the garage and got to work. The process is the simplest, so there is no point in describing it.

During the analysis, it turned out that everything feels very good, nothing is leaking anywhere, nothing is rubbing, and everything is in its place, the pads are not even worn out. The only thing was that the cylinders were a little sour, but they worked fine. What was I doing for nothing? Everything can be replaced, without any dispute about who is to blame and who is not.

I quickly changed everything and put it in place

Next I took up the bearings. I pressed it out and pressed it in without much effort or difficulty. As usual, it couldn't be done without a sledgehammer. As my uncle said, “H... what can you do without a Russian sledgehammer”

I read a lot about bleeding ABS brakes. On the Kalina forum, opinions are very divided. I'll tell you from my own experience. I pumped it the old fashioned way. WITHOUT TURNING ON THE IGNITION AND ANY OTHER MANIPULATIONS! The only thing is that I pumped it not crosswise, but counterclockwise. Starting from rear right - front right - front left - rear left. Everything has been pumped up perfectly and is working. What can I say. The brakes have become wonderful. Brakes excellent, ABS works well, no extraneous noise or excessive braking. I achieved what I wanted, and I’m very pleased with the result. Oh yes, and now I don't hear the humming bearings, which is good :)

Step-by-step instructions for replacing rear pads

The algorithm for replacing rear drum pads is given below.

• Shift the gearbox to first speed.
