Can anyone point me to a place where I can purchase an extra set of rear brake shims? These are the replaceable thin metal clips. There are two per side that the brake pad glides in and out on. They come with a set of new brake pads, but I could not find the clips by themselves anywhere, and my only option is to buy a new cheap set of brakes which are not needed. My current ones are definitely malfunctioning and actually contacting the rotor causing an unbearable squealing noise while creating a contact groove onto the rotors. My pads are almost new.
Yea I don't think they are available separately any more
If they are contacting the rotor, then they're not installed properly. They shouldn't touch the rotor, and there should be several millimeters of clearance on each side of the rotor.
