Brake pad change
Changed the pads and found only one shim per side on the back of the pads on the front, and no shims on the back of the pads on the rear. Pointy K9 - can anyone confirm that's correct?

Re: Brake pad change
there should be a shim per pad on front and the rear should have a shim and an insulator per pad.

Re: Brake pad change
No, I've found photos from the last service record and they weren't there then. Haven't had any squeeling issues. Is yours K9 and could this possibly have changed?

Re: Brake pad change
Sort of, if I pull and let go on the brakes really, really fast, I can sort of approximate it.

Re: Brake pad change
I can't imagine it's changed. It's probably the same calipers. I'll have a look at a fiche when I have a sec, maybe that will throw some light on it.
