Product Emphasis: OEM-grade brake pad shim kit engineered to eliminate brake squeal and rattling by creating a dampening layer between the brake pad backing plate and the caliper piston. These precision-cut stainless steel shims are designed as a direct replacement for the original components, which commonly lose their tension or become corroded over time, leading to annoying brake noise.

Q1: What does this brake pad shim kit do?
A: It acts as a dampener between the brake pad and the caliper piston. By absorbing vibrations, it prevents the high-pitched squealing noise that often occurs when brakes are applied. A missing or corroded shim is a common cause of brake noise.
Q2: Is this a genuine OEM part?
A: Yes. 04945-35120 and 04946-30100 are genuine Toyota OEM part numbers. They are also available as OEM-grade replacements.
Q3: How many shims come in a kit?
A: The kit typically includes the shims required for one axle (two wheels). Each brake pad needs a shim, so a full set for one axle usually contains four individual shims.
