in the OP she says she bedded them in. I have been doing this recently- I never even knew it was SOP until this year- isn't the www grand....I did just put in some pads which claimed they were specially "cured" and did not require bedding in.... I still did it.


back on track.-

any chance you disturbed the dust shield on the back of the rotor- and that is now rubbing on the rotor, causing the noise's?

[QUOTE] The only thing I noticed was that I kind of had to smoosh the metal clips on the edge of the pads down to get the caliper to close all the way .. it didn't really want to go down all the way, even though it had clearance at the piston.

I dont quite follow this- but maybe the clips are dragging now?? if you remove the wheel, you should be able to see if they are all shiny looking from being ground down.

Interesting thought ... I'll take a look at them. I had a tough time getting the wheels back on (To a 110-pound girl those wheels are heavy) so maybe I knocked something off kilter in the process.

The clips I speak of are the butterfly clips on the outer edge of each pad ... they only make contact with the outer part of the caliper, not something that moves, but I wonder if maybe the back of the caliper pushes on those clips and moves the pads out of sorts. I don't think so, but just an idea.

A bent dust shield will make plenty of noise, but it's not going affect the way the vehicle performs.
