squeaky brakes - Page 3

 
WTFGAS about your bus ride in England?

 
Well little chickenhawk I found it entertaining and slightly
envious...then had bus that was early. Quite frankly thats' damn near
unheard of on the east coast much less anywhere else in the US. That's
why I find PT in the US rather pointless just like your homoerotic
postings about mexicans and your exploits out being a stoned
chickenhawk.

Oh, it's the usual nonsense he posts. And the little metal shim he
thinks is to prevent squeal is usually to prevent the pads chattering
and rattling, which is why it's springy. It holds the pads lightly in
place. Some shims differ, of course, in purpose and construction.


Good to see you again.

I don't give a one-legged donald's ass what you limeys think anti-
squeal shims do,
in the USA, they are called "anti-squeal shims", not "anti-rattle
shims".

 

Two things spring to mind. Here, I've heard them referred to as both (or
similar terminology). And the fact that they most little springy bits
would suggest the latter purpose.

Except I've seen some that don't have any spring content. Which is why I
was careful in my posting. Plus, of course, some brakes have none at
all. Coo, wonder why they don't squeal, then?

Secondly, they don't work in the US, as they don't stop you squealing
and they haven't stopped you lobbing your rattle.
