Upon investigating a clunking sound emanating from the rt. front when I  
touch the brake pedal I noticed that 1/2 of the shim (anti-squeal) plate was  
missing.  I ordered new ones from M--- and the new ones do not appear large  
enough to cover the pad to piston surfaces.  They are about 1/2 inch too  
short.  
Are these shims really needed and will the shortness of the new  ones cause me 
more problems if I use them? Does anyone just use the  anti-squeal liquid that 
comes in a tube and forego the shims? Thanks
