I was checking my brakes the other day and I found that the outter brake pad on the rear right side is moving inside the caliper. It make a chattering noise if I hit a bump in the road. Should this happen? What could be the problem? Is it an easy fix?

 

are the shims there?

 

you need brake hardware.

 

Shims are there....

 

shims =/= brake hardware

 

speaking of which Brian, have you gotten a price on that brake hardware for me? haven't received any new pms lately.

 

oh, I thought you had sourced it locally so I didn't dig any further.
Guess i'll have to do it tomorrow

 

I don't mean to totally hijack the thread, but also on the rear brakes, has anyone had a caliper that is pushing the pad unevenly? I've replaced the pads once and I'm waiting to see if it wears out again prematurely. It literaly pushed the front part of the pad in only. Anyone had this? It's on a 99 SEL

 

front is like $10
rear drum is like $10
rear disc is like $15
doesn't include shipping.

 

2 things
1. wrong forum section you need the 4th gen section
2. yes, when the calipers are sticking

 

yea, sorry about the wrong forum, I couldve sworn I was in the 4th gen. Thanks for your input though.
