When the pads where replaced did you put shims or brake goop on the pads?

The p.o. had shoes put on, so I dont know. What are you talking about when you say brake goop?

Brake goop is something (paste or spray) that you put on the BACK side of the pads to prevent squeaking.

No grease or oils This is sort of a plastic coating that dries and keeps the pads from vibrating, which is your squeal.

I got the same stuff from Autozone today, I guess I have to take the rotors off to put this stuff on?

I have not done brakes on your car but would think all should be pretty close. Compress pistons, knock out retaining pin, remove clips and pads. Goop them up, allow to dry and reverse.
