Brake Pads won't fit on Passenger Side

[steddy]

wear indicators Always go on the outside, toward the front of the vehicle. I believe that since they are ceramic, they may make a slight noise because, due to both the hardness of the material and the "auto adjust" of brake calipers (meaning that the piston boot always keeps a small amount of contact between the pads and the rotor), there will be a small amount of minor noise. The noisiest I've heard is on my motorcycle. Been running ceramics for years and since the rotor is drilled, there's a buzzing sound. Just goes with the territory. For a car, this won't hurt power or anything. it's just a way that the pads retain a certain tempertaure and when the pedal is pressed, there's an immediate response. Remember all that travel of the pedal in the car only causes the calipers to move a slight bit, comparitively. If there was no contact, there would be more travel, a lower pedal, etc. All in all, you want them to have a slight amount of contact, which is why you press the pedal several times and check the fluid after before driving off after doing brakes. All that travel when you first hit the pedal is from the pads not making any contact.

Thanks steddy, I think this noise may be a tad bit too loud. When I drive by cars it's pretty loud, you know how you can pick up sound bouncing off of things. I'm going to inspect them right now, make sure the clips aren't rubbing the rotor and make sure the wear indicator is on the outside.
