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.
