BRAKENOISE

How does noise start?All brake noise starts at the point where the pad and rotor make contact. Every squeak, chirp and groan has its origins

at the interface between these two components. WHY USE

ADHESIVE?To eliminate noise!

Using a shim with a premium 3M™ adhesive layer will dampen the vibration of the

pad much more effectively thana shim without adhesive.

NO VIBRATION EQUALS NO NOISE!

HOW DOES ADHESIVE

WORK? Get rid of the vibration!

3M™ adhesive acts as “small rubber springs” which try to pull, push or shear the shim

to follow the vibration of the pad.This stretching, compression and shearing absorbs the vibration.
