Message:
Since I had my front pads replaced recently I get a loud noise when applying brakes while backing up(sometimes forward,but rarely). Definitely brake related. I have read about the clips behind the pads that can rust out. Are those clips part of any new pad or a separate hardware kit? Do the 03`s have clips? Just want to know what it might be before I bring it back to my mechanic. Thanks

He probably didn't properly lubricate or silicone the back of the pads. Yes, the shims & clips behind the pads are included in a new set. If you didn't machine or replace the rotors, sometimes grinding them with a abrasive disc is all you need. In any event, this should be fixed for free.

Thanks Noltz. The noise is like the pads are clacking in place,not any scrunching normal sound. I had them replaced because the left side pads were sticking in the slides and wearing faster than the right side. Mechanic said he greased the crap out of them.

Grease is real good, if you want a lot of dirt to stick to your brakes.
