The noise doesnt occur when on brakes. You can move the pads by hand. I had a mate do this while I sat inside and it sounds like this is the culprit. So what can I do? I know there are no shims, so I assume that's a start. What aboout the clips? where can I get new ones, or can I bend them to give more tension etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
