When I did the 4 wheel brake job on my car, I wasn't aware of any brake shims that were on the old pads when I took them off. I put the new pads on without any extra "shimming"... could this be why my brakes are soooo damn loud? I also get a clicking with every rotation of my passenger side rear wheel.
Brake shims?
- Thread starter SupraStoked
- Start date
I don't run shims.
What pads?
If there cheap ones they can make noise easily.
If there good ones could be from improper break in or there just glazed over.
Take the pads out give them a little sand and the rotors too and should go away.
For rear could be parking brake or something caught. Would have to inspect everything.

The pads are the cheapest ones I could get from advanced auto parts.. And yea I found one of the pins that holds one of my rear/drivers side brake shoe busted off..but this side doesn't have the clicking lol 
So sand the pads and rotors a little bit?

Ya. The squeaking will go away for a little but those pads are super cheap. Prolly organic so there going to glaze over fast again.
Look into some stock pads or atleast semi metallic. Posi quiet ceramics work pretty good for dd as well.
