Mears5 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hey Everybody, I changed my brake pads yesterday and when I took out the old pads I noticed there was no metal shim between the calliper and pad on one wheel but there was on the other, should there be one? And is it a big deal if this is missing? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Should be one there. Squealing can occur get a set of titanium ones while your at it. Supposed to stop heat transfer a bit from the pad to the caliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will use the shims that came with my yellowstuff pads, if I have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
