[DML] Re: Brake Shims Question?

["DMC Joe" <DMCJOE@xxxx>]

Jim,
Without going into a long technical explanation here is a simple example.
Chalk across the blackboard and rubbing your finger on a lightly moistened
drinking glass will create a high pitched squealing. The anti-squeal shims
break the mechanical connection between the rotor, pad, and caliper piston
thereby reducing or eliminating the high pitch squealing.

If you would like detailed information on this subject from my technical
library contact me directly.
