ive been having back brake trouble for a while now. it started with squeeking, so i changed the back pads (disk brakes) after that it started grinding, but only when going foreward.. not in reverse and not while brakeing..

i also replaced the rotor trying to correct the problem..

but anyway the question is,

do the back brakes on a 94 accord have pad "shims"?

if it is supposed to that may be my problem, if not... any suggestions?

thanx

94 accord /stocker\

 

my guess is they have little clips.
Welcome to HAN.

 

thanx, i have been looking around at the posts for a while.. just decided to regester now cause i had a question i couldent find here already...
yea, it had the little clips that kinda hold the pads in, but ive seen a couple pics that show some honda's have shims that go inbetween the piston and brake pad (and on the other side too) just wandering if mine was supposed to or not...

Sorry guys, but i still havent had the question answerd, on a 94 accord 4 dr 4 clnder w/rear disk brake... are there supposed to be peices of metal or "shims" that afe supposed to sitiin between the caliper cylinder and the brake pad to hold it there? also there would probly be one shim on the oter side, with the two prongs holding the pad on.. i dont know if they are supposed to have one or not.. any help would be appreciated varry varry much.... (sorry bout spellin... damn Amber Bock.

and if theis car has no shims, does anyone know the 94 accord problem with brake grinding, by the way. i adjused the e brake and it helped a LOT, but when corner while accelerating it grindes still ( note: not "clicking" or "ticking" but metal to metal grinding from the pat to rotor... i have installed a new rotor and pads.now i am wandering if it is just the connection to the rotor "shimmey" back and forth, causing nasty sounds

but htat is just a newb quess

is there anyone that has pinpointed this problem?
dorry, i realise the infor may not be enough, so pm or reply if you need more info
(just in case you diddent read the earliar, my car makes the noise when there are NO brakes being applied, only when going foreward and when accelerateing, but the sound is louder when cornering)

one last peice of info about the problem:

the first time i chenged the brakes onthe back, i tried to use the c-clamp "trick" , later i realised that is not how to compress back calipers.

do you think i fried my caliper or do you think that the thing the rotor connects to doesent " roll true" and might me pushing the pad to the rotor at times and sometimes now....


Sorry bout the long post and the spellin'

please PM me with any info about this problem....

i have heard about this problem and that people spend lots of money.. anyone know what i need to fix this and ( i hope) some general prices od what i may need to do or get done depending on the exp nedded

dotty bout the spellin'
thanx for the advice in advance

Check out www.hondaautomotiveparts.com for the exploded drawings. Mine have shims on the outboard pads, but I don't know about '94.
