The shims are designed to provide some spring action to keep the pads from vibrating against the rotors. That is how they prevent. The pads are supposed to be in constant contact with the rotors.

It is not there when you apply the brakes, that is what make the noise go away. Just a quiet little squeak, squeak, squeak heard at low speeds, while driving down the road. Applying the brakes make it go away, like the rotors are brushing the pads occasionally. John Flynn 78 Spitfire Your messages not reaching the list?
