Jim_1979 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 My pads occasionally clunk now and again. TBH I'm used to it and my last Supra done it also. Just wondering why it happens and if there's a way to stop it? Also are pads usually squeally on Supras? All pads are fine etc on the car but they squeal a bit. Again my last Supra done it. I put fresh pads on my last car and they squealled like mad. Changed to a different brand and they were fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick001 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 As you say i think it depends on the quality of pad - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrdsukautos Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 waits for the shock factor on the cost of a shim kit which is no more than a couple of metal plates lol XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 anyone anymore info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 anyone anymore info? Not sure what you expect here mate, make sure you have the shims fitted and bronze greased and they shouldn't squeel - unless they are a poor quality pad, or are made for race use.

Jim_1979 Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 ok mate. Shims are the metal parts that fit to the pads right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I got mine apart and gave them all a good clean and lube in the right places and have been fine since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
