Replacement brake pad help! No roller skates!
Hi!
Just got new pads for my 2010 camaro SS, and the new pads don't have the roller skates! Is this a problem, or will I be ok? Are they absolutely required? I remember reading the rollerskates were to help eliminate brake squeal, which it didn't!

Roller skates are harmonic dampeners. Without them, they may or may not squeal. Functionally they will work fine with or without.

Thanks. That's exactly what I thought!

I'm curious about those who have gone "roller skate-free"... has your experience been noisier?

Great question! My brakes squeal all the time with the rollerskates!

For me I've had periods of squealing at varying times during the life of the pads. I'm getting close to replacement so I'm wondering what pads I want to go with.

 As long as they are burnished correctly, they'll still be fairly quiet. Follow THESE STEPS to ensure they stay as quiet as possible. Best regards, Tyler 888-308-6007 |
