[DanielJames]

Hi, just snapped the heads on both my locating pins on one side, my own fault I've been an idiot but are they required will the wheel nuts hold them to the hub?

Help please, panicing here.

My audi never had them , should be ok, I'm no expert mind!

It can be a pain to get the wheel on as you've got to get the holes in the hub, disc and wheel all lined up before you can get the bolts in. But to answer the question they just hold things in place when the wheel's off they're not structural at all.

thanks, got the discs and wheels on no probs now thanks

Getting a bit of a grinding noise but I hope thats just the new pads and discs mating

I would spin the wheel in the air to check where it's coming from, new discs + pads don't normally grind.
