Help: Brake noise wont go away!
I notice noise coming from the front passenger brakes when I apply the brake pedal. Twice now I've taken it apart and applied brake grease to the shims and pads, which eliminates the noise temporarily, but after a few weeks, the noise each time comes back. I can also hear slight rattling from the same caliper when I hit bumps in the road. I have a feeling it may be loose shims, but I don't know how to resolve this. It's driving me crazy.
Anybody ever have this issue or have any suggestions to help me resolve this.

No, I don't need new pads. The pads and rotors are fairly new. I've been having this noise with the old pads and rotors, causing me to think that I need to change my brakes, so I changed everything, and the noise is still there.

I need to figure out what slider pins are, cause I have no clue. What I thought was a slider pin is not apart of the brake assebly, so my assumption of slider pins must be wrong.

Now I'm confused.
I am about to do my front brakes - never took them apart ( '01 GS 300 )
but this shows main and sub pins with the same part number.
What gives?
And -- which is the best DIY for '01 GS 300 front brakes?
The DIY's I looked at were for different models - not for '01 GS 300 specific.
Thanks
