Replying to: ezshift5 (Jan 14, 2009 7:07 pm) I have 07 I4 Manual. Around 56K. My shims just started making warning squeal on the drivers rear. I looked at the pad depth and they seem fine still. My front have not yet made any noise. I believe driving style and habit are the primary factor in brake wear differences. "Recommendation" make sure whenever replacing pads that you have brand new shims put on. This way you know that you are not being taken advantage of at a brake place/dealership. Also, I don't remember if the owners manual lists the depth for change on brake pads but you should find that out for your car and measure yourself periodically. If you can't find it I am sure someone in hear may have access to that info. But if you are not inclined to do any of your own mechanic work at the very least make sure new shims are put on so you can hear the warning sound. Especially if you were told "0" was left on the pad. That means pretty soon you would have started grinding the rotors which could triple the cost of your brake job since you would have to probably get new ones (depending on how long they were ground for of course). Good Luck! PS ~ Not sure if their is a "Brake" thread but you may want to find one to get more advice.

| I have the 04 Accord LX Coupe and looking to buy a used EX radio on eBay that has the controls for xm radio. There is a kit I would have to buy to get XM into it but are the radios themselves interchangeable? | |

Hi, My 2003 Accord LX V6 only has around 47K miles. Now when I press the brake pedal, only the left stop light comes up. But all bulbs appear OK, because if I use remote key to close or open the door, all lights flash correctly. Anyone can give some advice? Thanks.

Replying to: 03lxv6 (Jan 15, 2009 9:28 am) I have always been advised to replace bulbs simultaneously, so if you do have to replace the bulb replace both of them. I would guess they are cheap at any auto parts store. Good luck!

Replying to: f0rl0rn (Jan 15, 2009 10:22 am) Thanks for the advice. What do you mean 'running lights'? When I checked the manual, it says we have the following lights on the back: tail light/stop light backup light high-mount brake light turn signal light I probably will swap the bulbs during the weekend to see if it is the bulb or not.

Replying to: f0rl0rn (Jan 15, 2009 7:25 am) The wear indicators are attached to each inner pad, for each caliper. The shims are thin plates that go between the pad backing and the caliper. The wear indicators are part of the inner pad, and not a separate part. The shims, in most cases, do not come with the pads, when you purchase them. If the shims have rust on them, they should be replaced. When you buy brake pads, they should come with a packet of grey anti-squeal paste (looks like never-seize to me). This is to be applied between the pads and shims. |

I replaced the power steering pump on my 04 Accord LX V6 at 78,000 miles because of noise. My daughter had her pump replaced on her 03 Accord V6 at 54,000 miles because of noise. Further research on my part indicates that the Honda pumps are failing at an unusually high rate. This item costs around $500.00 to replace. Please post up if you have had this issue with your 03 and newer Honda, and the amount you paid to have it corrected. Thanks
