Years ago, I had a "friend" change my brake pads and they have squealed and "ticked" ever since he did them. I am thinking all my parts did not get installed, let alone any anti squeal added to shims. I am gonna redo them now on my '98 LS400 but am not sure how I would know if pieces are missing. You know, shims, wear indicators, etc. Does anyone have a picture or diagram that will show me all the parts associated with my pads?

I don't know off hand, but someone has posted the diagram somewhere on here. If I find it I'll post it up for you.

its a sticky on the top of the ls430 forum, but im not sure if the brakes are the same design as the ls400?

svlexus,

Man, thanks so much! Perfect info. I also got a great tip for using an old baking pan to hold spare parts in during the job I'm working on. I can't tell you how many times those parts seem to roll away and the amount of time I spend looking for that part I laid "right here!"
