If you were to hear loud squealing noises coming from your, then it means you either have missing or worn out brake shims. Sometimes people will think these noises are coming from their brake rotors. But in most cases, the blame for these noises can be placed on missing brake shims. This could happen when you purchase new brake pads because not all brake pads come with brake shims attached to them. In these situations, you need to attach the brake shims separately from the brake pads. You will find brake shims which come with special adhesive material attached to them. You would simply attach the brake shims to the back of your brake pads (or hire a professional to do it for you).
GreaseIf you have brake shims installed between your brake calipers and brake pads, there may still be instances when you hear noises coming from your braking system. Again, this doesn’t necessarily mean that your brake rotors are to blame. Usually, these noises occur because your brake shims are not lubricated enough grease or some other formulated lubricant.
This will assist the shims in aligning the caliper and pads properly while reducing friction. Just apply a thin film of grease to each shim if they have not already been lubricated.Read also: Other SymptomsSquealing noises are the most common symptom of missing shims and grease. However, you may experience other symptoms too, such as bad brake response or a pulsating brake pedal.
This is due to the brake pads not being properly aligned with the brake calipers. Because of this, the brake pads cannot adequately interact with the brake rotors to slow down the vehicle in time. On top of that, it will wear out your brake pads and calipers quickly as well. Then you will be forced to replace your brake pads, brake calipers, and brake shims all at the same time.
Mon 27 Oct 20 1.1 Brake pad shims - defenderMetal shims will not reduce heat transfer materially (saucepans get hot on solid hotplates) but the hollow piston used in most calipers does this job quite effectively.659 with all due respectthe shims help to loose heat by having a bigger surface area than contact area thus absorbing heat very quickly and loosing heat very quicklywhat in effect you are saying is that if you put a suacepan on the stove it will boil at the same speed even if you put a large metal plate between pot and stove,well sorry but it wont. Mon 27 Oct 20 1.1 Brake pad shims - NumberCruncherno significant thermal differenceThere is the matter of the thermal conduction contact resistance between pad and shim, and shim and piston - it's definitely not an insignificant effect, and the shim effectively adds an interface, without adding much mass or thickness.On my W124, there is a thin metal shield mounted on the piston nose. It doesn't touch the pad, and the only action it can possibly have is to reduce radiative heat transfer between the pad/disc and the outer piston seal.Shims were fitted to reduce the incidence of brake squeal.I agree with that - very carefully worded!
Mon 27 Oct 20 1.1 Brake pad shims - 659FBEOne useful source for contact resistance is a semiconductor data book.Bolting a metal semiconductor device case to a plane heatsink is a similar situation, thermally. For example, a TO-3 cased metal device might typically have a thermal resistance of 1.0 deg C/W junction to case. The case to heatsink interface (bolted tight) is quoted as only 0.3 deg C/W. (Source, Philips data book).In brake development, a fully instrumented rig is used to ensure that critical components such as rubber seals and boots, slider pins and of course the fluid itself all operate within acceptable thermal limits.
Thermocouples would be embedded in pads and attached to other parts of the assembly and all data logged during trials.659. Mon 27 Oct 20 1.1 Brake pad shims - NumberCruncherOne useful source for contact resistance is a semiconductor data book.Yes, my all too limited sources are very similar in their derivation - which is fine when estimating the temperature at a semiconductor junction - but not too helpful in other, more mechanical, situations.In brake development, a fully instrumented rig is used.Yes, I'm sure that most parts which are designated as safety critical will have to be proved by test - although, perhaps this is changing. Some safety critical aerospace parts are now being qualified for flight purely via analysis. Tue 28 Oct 20 1.1 Brake pad shims - yorkiebarShims have always been 'anti squeal' shims.It was quite acceptable to use pads without shims if noise was not an issue; excess heat that they dissipated (or not) was never an issue.

(Advice from Lockheed and Girling, many years ago)!If the heat was an issue, they would still be used. Most pads from point of sale are only fitted with the 'squashy' type backing on.Argue about the the heat and performance all day long but its not actually relevant?
