volvo 240 wagon brakes 200 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be john on  Sat Jan 5 16:26 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Need advice on 87 240 wagon front brakes. After taking off the brake pads I noticed the anti-squeal shims are not in great shape. They're peeling and some rust. I sandpapered them fairly clean. Should they be replaced? And is it necessary to use anti squeal compound? I've got the new pads on. The wheels turn fairly freely. One has a very slight drag to it. This is my first brake job so any inside help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
John
