You should have reused your old brake pad heat shields. IF you don't reuse them... the new aftermarket pads will move around in the caliper.

Some aftermarket pads -- especially those intended only for use on the track -- don't come with them, so that would produce the occassional knocking noise to which the OP referred. Neil |

In any case if the pads don't have clips then ditto MDORPHIN's remark. |

Sorry Guys, I was thinking of 135i brake pads. I'm not sure about 1M pads. But I would think they would have a insulation pad between the pad's backing plate and the brake caliper piston.

http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=728908 I have never experienced this phenomemon with any other vehicle, regardless of make or model. What pads did you go with? the issue is indeed the fact that without the clips to keep the pads attached to the caliper piston, they ratlle like a MO-FO. People standing on the street can hear the click and clatter. Inside the car it's very audible as well. it's also interesting to note that pavement with many minor imperfections (read: older concrete) will cause more chatter than moderate bumps. Every once in awhile you can find a smooth stretch of asphalt and get some relief... Dragging the brakes slightly will stop the chatter... it's definitely not an installation error .... if you don't want the rattle.. it's imperative that you find pads with clips on them. |
