John, yes, it is safe to drive. Only a noise problem.

>> Yes, exactly as Jeff has said. This is the most common problem. Brake pads get changed but they leave out the rusted backing plates since they cannot find them or don't realize they are needed. They are available again, coming from suppliers in Germany. I have them, IN STOCK, as well as other do who are importing from Germany. See my <www.frankcondelli.com/sales.htm> webpage, under "Brakes". Good deal especially for Canadian customers on all the item I am importing from Germany, one less tax and duty charge to deal with.

>>> Just a guess, but did your mechanic happen to toss those thin metal backing plates that fit behind the brake pads? When I bought my current Vanagon, the brakes squealed so badly my wife started to refuse to ride in it. Those backing plates were missing from the front pads. I found a set in a junk yard off a Vanagon that must have had a brake job the week before it was junked-the plates looked brand new, as did the pads. These are NLA according to my local dealer.
