FRONT BRAKE NOISE - REVISED DISC BRAKE PAD TAB CLINCH PROCEDURE
MODELS:
1983-89 M, S/T, R/V, P, AND G (EXCEPT G3 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH RPO JB8)
Some front brake noise (clicking, popping and squealing) can be caused by insufficiently clinched outboard brake pad tabs. Loose outboard pads can
move within the caliper generating noise. The outboard brake pad clinch can be checked by pushing on the back of the pad with your thumb. The pad
should not move. If any movement is felt, the pad should be reclinched. Pad tab clinching must be checked whenever pads are removed or replaced. All
future light duty service manuals will be updated with the following revised brake pad clinch procedure, replacing the procedure listed in Service Manual
X-8932 (Section 5A2, pages 3 & 4) and in Service Manual X-8930 (Section 5A2, pages 3 & 4).
