Afternoon chaps and chapesses,

Right here we go again!#
For a while now my brakes have been squeeling like hell when coming to a stop, really really high pitched squeel, and gets right on my nerves.

I have this morning stripped them down (again) cleaned everything (again) greased up with plenty of copper slip in all the right places, and still it's doing it???
Sounds to me to be more so from the o/s/r.

The brakes work a treat and stops in a straight line, no pulling to one side or any form of juddering, it's just this damn noise that's really pi$$in me off.

I did a friends brakes a couple of weeks back, he had some thin shims between his pads and the pistons, now i don't have these, so could that be the problem?

Thanks for any help or advise

 

You should have 2 thin plates that sit between the caliper and pad.
It could well be the reason for your squealing ...........

 

Cheers mate, that's what i was starting to think, will have to find some somewhere as i don't have any!
Do you know if they are supposed to be on the fronts aswell, as i don't have any at either caliper?

 

They should be on the front if you run 4 pots...
Check Import car parts they may sell them.........

Cheers ..........

 

Cheers mate, checking now

 

try jap performance they might have some

 

Or Ian at Godspeed, or Alyn at AS Performance.

 

All the best getting it sorted out ........................

 

Found some, but won't be here for a couple of days, let you all know if it sorts it out.
cheers

 

it may be the pads what make are they

 

Pagid's all round mate

 

Well had a result

Got some shims yesterday but due to the spot on weather were all having had to wait until today to fit them.

Cleaned every little bit of grease off, fitted shims, small amount of new copper slip in all the right places.............

Silent Braking

Must have been the missing shims, although i'm still stumped as to why they would make such a difference

 

Result ...^^^^^^^^^^^
