Volks,

Last week, I replaced the front brake pads on my 83.5 Westy.  The job was
straight forward enough and everything went smoothly.  It was a really tight
fit when I got the new break pads in, although I thought for sure I had
pushed the piston all the way in with the C-clamp I was using.  I also
applied some noise reduction goo to the back of the new break pads.  Another
point of interest is, when I pulled out the old pads, which I think were the
originals, there was a thin metal plate behind the old pad that makes
contact with the piston.  I didn't know if these were part of the old brake
pads or the braking system.  When I put in the new pad, I continued to use
these thin plates.

However, now when I drive the vehicle I hear a faint squeaking coming from
the front wheels.  When I apply the front breaks the squeaking goes away and
when I turn the wheel the squeaking goes away.

Oh wisdom of the group, any ideas to what might be going on?  Is this
something that needs my immediate attention.

Thanks In Advance,
Josh
