mcbrat Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 okay, about 500 miles ago I put on new rotors/pads on the rears, and re-tightened the brake lines, as they were leaking a tad, and the pads were rattling.... seemed fine before. finally got my new tranny in, and took it for a sping, and the rattling is back. almost like they are loosing pressure. I don't see any brake line leaks. any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 do you have the pad retaining shims in? the ones that are fitted around the caliper...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 don't think so. the set of rear discs I got had the pads with them, and no shims of any sort.... I neverreplaced the pads in the other vehicle I had with rear discs, so I never thought about it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 trashwagon did the same thing till i replaced the rotor. i thought maybe it was smacking the caliper bracket, thin solid rotor = warpage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbrat Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 It was the clips! theset of rear discs I put on, didn't have the clips with them,but luckily my extra set of rear discs had the clips. no place in town had them on hand. should be getting a new set tomorrow for my other set. put 'em on, and nice quiet brakes finally I also got a chance to put on my new Rancho shocks. so I'mpretty much set now for the 4th of July parade....
