What if i forgot to put these on the new brake pads when i changed my brake pads?



Its the plate that goes on the back of the outer pads

You'll most likely have brake noise.

It wont tear anything up though?

You have been quoted. I must agree. It it is the front pads, you can easily install the shims with minimal work.

Ok, well the only noise i heard was coming from the rear, and it was constant, no extra noise when on the brakes, so i think its my rear wheel bearings..

Ok, since this is a brake question thing, when Im going 80 MPH on the freeway, i push the brakes and my steering wheel shakes, until it reaches mayb 60 MPH, I think the rotors may be warped is this true? Also my brake pads are worn too, so is it suppose to make a kkkrrrr noise? Is that normal?

Rotors typically do not warp despite the common myth. Check your hub flanges for rust and debris. The rears on Integras typically have problems.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Spectrum24x &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

What type of noise? You can check the wheel bearings by lifting the car and shaking the wheels up and down and then left to right.

Eh, I am going to have to disagree.

Throw a warped rotor on a brake lathe, and notice the cutting pattern on the rotor itself. I promise you, you WILL see it.

Sounds like you have either a caliper sticking, or the return springs on the pads are malfunctioning.

those things help pads from moving. and jam.

and dont 4get to put clips that goes on front. if you dont have it, pad will locked

If the mating surface of the rotor has debris or corrosion, this will induce runout in the rotor which is perceived as warpage. In reality, the rotor just isn't mounted flush on the wheel hub or the rotor lathe. Runout will cause the rotor lathe to cut your rotor: the cut will target one side of the rotor, not evenly distributed high spots.

I was going to call you out on this, but after reading that It appears ive been wrong in my thinking the whole time.

This happened with my Ex-girlfriends car and the honda mechanic showed me how the rotor was warped, he cleaned it and you could see how the rotor was very different in its shape in some areas and it actually refracted light different in those areas,but after reading that stoptech write up that makes alot of sense.
