I renewed all the discs and pads recently on my Willy 2 - DS2500s at the front and Mintex M1144 at the rear. However the car's squealing madly from the rear when I brake while reversing. There were anti-squeal shims on the rears when they were changed, but these didn't fit with the new Mintex pads so we left them off. am i better off just sticking some OE pads which will fit with the shims?

PS will be selling this car soon :-( 71k miles, pretty excellent condition... photos etc when it's all super-duper clean :)

mine used to do this when wet.. with standard discs and pads on the rear... are the mintex similar in construction to the ds2500's? as these make a noise when cold..

I never had a problem with whatever was on before. Really can't remember how the two pads compare... However the DS2500s are fine, apart from the occasional tiny murmur on a slow stop.

well as you're possibly aware the rear's dont do alot.. it could be the case of the little friction/pressure applied on them when reversing and braking casing them to do this..
is it much of an issue for you to try standard pads?

Just a matter of buying some and getting them fitted :)
