OKWilly Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Has anyone had brake pads/shoes replaced on ca. 2000 Camry recently? My new pads/shoes are squeaking worse than the old/worn ones, and I'm getting a thunking from the right rear shoe, particularly when cold. Have they changed the composition of brake pads, or did my dealer mess up the job?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevelaw Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 did you use the blue goo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKWilly Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 did you use the blue goo? Sorry, Steve. I don't know. The local dealer did the job. Squeaks like heck in the mornings, then it's somewhat less after I've used them a few times. --OK Willy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible there's a slight rust build up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevelaw Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 As the dealer if he used the blue goo , shims, or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc780 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Sounds like the dealer used a semi metallic with a hard compound. Or maybe left shims off. And yes, i always ALWAYS use the blue goo, it only took one episode of squealing brakes to make me a believer. Id have them change the pads to something closer to OEM pads, dont really need metallics unless you drive hills alot or just drive really hard. Heres what i think the thunking sound may be, maybe the wheel cylinder on that wheel is sticky. Or maybe even worse, missing parts or sticky self adjustors that didnt get cleaned and greased properly. Did you have the drums turned or replaced? If not, maybe you need a new drum (theyre not too expensive). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
