My daughter and bf did a break job on the 99 GT last night. They noticed that the back pads that were on it were worn at an angle.
When the new pads (wagner) went on the back, they only had one shim....once they went on, they still made noise (rubbing) on the test drive....so my bf greased the slider pins...they still make a little noise at low speeds. Anyone have any idea what else could help? |

grease????? dont you just put the 2 backing plates back where they were and put the pads back in and pop the clips back on?
isnt it more likely that you drove through a puddle with hot rotors, warped the rotors, and thats why the pads are wearing uneven either that or the car is in need of a wheel alignment pretty bad? -------------------- Mike W

Easy killer, I just bought the car....I don't know if it was driven through water or not, but not since I have had it (a couple weeks). It doesn't need an alignment. |
