Well i couple of weeks ago i posted about my passanger rear brake making a loud nail to the chalk board sound whenever braking (sometimes while going straight when there is barley presure on the brakes- while going faster and turning while braking- those kind of curves you slow down for) well i recently replaced the rear brakes with new OEM ones from hardtopguy.com well they still make that sound. what could be the cause of this? is it the rotor then? should i get it re-surfaced or what? as always any advice would be appreciated. thanks!

 

Did you grease the shims?

 

what are the shims? the metal brackets? - and what kind of grease are you talking about? shimitsu?

 

 

The shims are #45 in this pic

The part numbers are here

You recieved the shims with the pads. The OEM brake pads will always come with the shims and grease. The part # for the grease is 08C30-B0234M.

Sorry for ROFL earlier

Happy motoring.

 

P.S. Make sure you apply the grease in between the pad and shims.

 

thanks RACER, i just re-read the walk through looks like i may have skipped that step. i knew i shouldve printed it out the house i changed my pads out at didnt have a computer set up with internet. thanks man!
