Just looking at the new pads compared to the old. The old has some kind of shim clipped to it. New one does not.

I don't see a shim in the parts manual or in the service manual.

Should I just know to move it over or is it something that is only found on some pads?


Any ideas? Thanks.

I believe the shim is part of the brake pad. Some come with it some don't.

What kind of pads did you buy? As Dc mentioned, some have them and other do not. The shims typically serve as noise mitigation....
