Good evening everyone.

I just left swedish car parts in Chicago.I picked up some oem volvo pads for the rear.Are these the ones? I 've checked the records from the PO and there ihe had his brakes done at Midas in June of 2000 .Does not say whether they were rear or front changed.Anyways, the box says ATE model . I cant' be too sure if the rear are ATE. Also the pads came with 8 shims. 4 that are are metal and 4 that are textured.Which shims goes where? I think i'll need some teflon grease to coat the shims Right? Thanks for the help.

There is a plate on the left passenger door opening. If the number next to brakes is 2 or 3 you have ATE on the rear. 1 is Girling.

The stainless steel shims go next to the piston and the teflon shims go beween the stainless and the pad backing. you need the grease for the shims. I got the replacement hardware also - new pins and springs. I don't know if it is required but they are pretty cheap so i figured it was a good idea.

rears should be ATE, yep. don't know why there are that many shims though. i thought there were 2 on each side, total of 4.

1 teflon, 1 metal (aluminum) per side.

the aluminum is the shim that makes contact with the piston i believe. between aluminum and pad is the teflon.
