Guys,
2004 GT Brembo Manual
Help please.
Here's the story, about 400 miles ago, maybe less, I changed all brake pads and replaced them with EBC reds, since then at very low speed and light braking I have a horribly annoying squeak from the offside rear, all others are fine. The squeak does not appear at at any other time!!! I used copper grease on every pad and I took the rears off yesterday and re-greased just to be sure and it still squeaks!! I also gave the rear pads a gentle rub with fine emery paper as they did have a "glazed" look to them. There is a strange peculiarity to the tale though - when I changed the pads there were no shims on the front sets and I have left them off (rightly or wrongly) and I'm sure there are opinions ref this. There WERE shims on the rear and I replaced them with new ones.
1 Should there be shims all round or not?
2 Would shims cause the problem?
3 Should copper grease be applied more liberally?
The answers to these questions and any other advice would be muchly appreciated.
Cheers
G
