Thanks everyone, I went back and had them flip the brake pads, with the wear indicator on top (leading edge, given the fact that my caliper is mounted on the front of the wheel). The spring of the abutement shims/clips is also set inside the wear indicator. I do hear a light squeal when...

I would think they would do both. But I don't know for sure. The retraction part is the one I am concerned about since last time, my inside pads wore to the metal while the outside ones were half worn. For my brake pads, they are Raybestos Element 3. Car is : 2015 Nissan sentra SR

Hi, I changed my brakes about a week ago and noticed yesterday that in the front left at least (I need to check the other side): - pads were installed with the wear indicator at the bottom instead of the top - they didn't use the spring on the brake pads abutement shims/clips, like so: How...

I noticed that the mechanic installed the brake pads with the wear indicators at the bottom. He also didn't bend the "ears" of the abutment clips Example at 9:06 How much of an issue will this be? Should I take the car back?

So it turns out all my inside pads were worn out while the outside ones were half worn and appeared to be okay. The Rear Right disk was touching on the dust shield. Rear disks were also warped. Yesterday, my Front Right wheel started making a loud gring noise. Turns out the inside pad's...

It's really a sound that happens the first 2 or 3 minutes of my drive, everyday. It's really loud at first, but by the time I brake about 5 times, it's quiet again. I will see if I can arrange something during the weekend. The issue is, by the time I reach an underground parking, It would've...

Thanks for the informative video. I don't a driveway nor a place where I can work on the car, so I won't be able to try it myself.

I just took a look with my endoscope again and for both sides rear brake pads, they are "flakes" at the top end. I will add pictures tomorrow. My sd card wasn't in. If the caliper is binding, is it to be replaced? That's what they are hinting at. For the slide pins and pistons, could it be...

Can the bent dust shield cause my brake pads to wear unevenly as mentioned in my edit? I went to one mechanic who told me that my rotors are warped. They didn't even bother to take the wheel off to look at the rotor and pads. They are okay for replacing parts but I don't trust their...

Here is a other video. Do you still think the same?

At about 4 seconds you can hear it, though it's not clear enough. I will make another video as soon as I start driving and add it later during the day. I will check the dust shield. I try to avoid the dealership except for transmission service. I don't have a friend that could help. I will...

It's not a knock it's a scrapping noise. I am referring to the wheels on the ground. Not the steering wheel. I don't have a driveway and I am not allowed to work on a car in the street

Sorry, I edited the post to add the info

Hi everyone, I drive a B17 ( 2013 - 2019) 2015 nissan sentra sr. Everyday for a week now, For the first few minutes, I hear a noise at every turn of the wheels. It's usually louder in the first few minutes and gets quieter. It could be front or back or both. In the attached video, it sounds...

That would be my last resort. I have considered that option. I don't know if it's just the key or the cylinder that is the issue. Only the front driver side door can be opened with a key (not even the trunk can be opened with a physical key)

I don't have any. I will buy that today, try it out and report back. I had to call road assistance to unlock my door yesterday, but I am trying to solve the key issue in case it happens again. Roadside assistance took 5 hours to get to me. So, yeah... Questions: Would making a new key help...

Hi everyone, I have an issue with my physical key. My car battery was dead and I was locked out of my car. While trying to use my my physical key, it would go in about 80% of the way but not go any futher. Since I am unable to fully insert the key, i don't know if it would turn or not. What...

@skyactiv I will try that tomorrow and report back.

Hi Everyone, I am hearing a noise when I release the brake pedal https://mega.nz/file/TWJU1C6Q#qd4vWtKXi02wHvpJrUQRIeVXLs2em4M6VSIc_Lohvu0 Can you help me figure out what the issue is? Thank you

My only after market item is the remote starter. I will look into the parasitic drain test.
