vanossa 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2012 Hi All. As per my topic in the general subject page. I would like to purchase some brake pads that won't cause a rattle in the future. Could someone please point me to some parts for this problem. I am in Queenstown Otago and have no stealership in the area (you'd think someone would service the market in this area what with all the peop$e that drive BMWs). My car is 1993' E36 325i Coupe (english assembled). Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have no official dealer up here either, just "service" agents. www.milland.co.nz He's a knowledgable guy, and can get EVERYthing. both genuine and aftermarket, good stuff too - never had an issue with anything from him. I believe he's ex-dealership anyway. Edited January 5, 2012 by Allanw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vanossa 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2012 cheers everyone will follow these leads. will post when resolved. So today I have no rattle, due to correct OEM pads. Thanks for the help bimmersporters and Paul@milland, is highly recommended. Ps... the other sound I found was a bearing which has been replaced now, too. Yay!...it's back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 545 Report post Posted January 27, 2012 Isn't the use of copper grease on the caliper side of the pad suposed to help eliminate pad rattle & squeak ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Isn't the use of copper grease on the caliper side of the pad suposed to help eliminate pad rattle & squeak ? No. Copper slip is used on the slide surfaces and pad contact areas with the slides. Wurth do an antisqueel spray to coat the back of the pad surfaces. Good pads that fit correctly shouldn't rattle and the outer calliper spring must be fitted correctly Edited January 27, 2012 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
