Depending on the pad, sometimes there are shims between pad and piston
to reduce or eliminate squeal. On older cars, there were shims under
the caliper mount bolts to adjust alignment of the caliper with the
rotor, although I personally have never seen them on any of my cars.

I noticed that there are brake shims availble for my 300SD. Why does
a disk brake need shimming or are they for another purpose?
