Installed Wagner Thermoquiets. Have a slight brushing sound coming from the right disc now though when I drive. Any ideas?

Washed, waxed and rain-xed. Replaced the rusted screws in the door trim with some stainless steel ones.

You can kinda see the bottom mounts. I need to order new shocks. 28" extended, 18" collapsed or shorter.
Sweet, thanks for the info. Just one more thing, the hoops go through the floor and mount up against the inside of the rail, yes?

The rotor may be warped slightly (if you didn't replace them) but it could just be the pads. I have Thermoquiet shoes on the rear of mine and they ought to call them Thermonosiys, they work great but quiet they aren't, they were the worst when new and still breaking in but the noise still hasn't completely gone away after 4k mi though it isn't as noticeable as it was.


I was going to put Thermoquiets on the front as well but I ended up going with Wearever Gold (Advance Auto brand) pads instead after the not so quiet Thermoquiets and the Wearever Golds make no noise.

Thanks! The rotors where rusted on the outer rim so i think the pads may have scratched a little when I put them on. Hoping the sound goes away.

Did you happen to use the shims the pads came with at all?

The Pads I got (Wearever Gold) have a built-in shim so no separate shims are required.

Got the clear side markers in today just decided to put them in before I get to my exhaust manifold looks way better than the orange side markers especially with Steel Blue. I really like the look

California and Nevada I know for sure. Amber in front red or amber in the rear. (Indicators only) Clearance lights are amber in front red in rear only.
