Depending on the application, the brake pads will have mechanical or electronic wear sensors. But, where should the sensor go? In the case of mechanical squealer wear sensors, the location on the inboard, outboard pad can be different. In this video we cover where the sensor needs to be positioned.

You don’t show what the video says.. 🤔🤮
No good info Drew
My question for this video was, where is the squeek indicator located when installed correctly? I learned it is on the inside pad and the leading edge of the rotor. Thanks for the clarification.
Great video man thank you
What a load of unhelpful waffle.
I'm certain mechanics understood that perfectly! But sorry to inform you that most people watching this video are not mechanics! Basic terminology like inside or outside, front or back, and a quick visual guide would have made this video 10/10.
I appreciate the video however I’m where sensor goes
Basically inside or backside and on the bottom
Thank you Andrew. I couldn't remember if the Squealer ( I always called them the wear indicator ) went on the leading edge of the trailing edge of the pad. When you have a 10 yr old vehicle, it's had a few brake jobs in its life. So, yes, the one I removed was on the leading edge and on the piston side of the caliper. ( or inward side ) After reading some of the negative comments, I found myself scratching my head in disbelief. What part of inward and leading edge don't these ppl understand ! Most of them probably can't tell time on an analog clock either, therefore they don't know Clock Wise (CW) from Counter Clock Wise (CCW). Or the difference between a screwdriver and a pair of pliers. 😂
Thanks again, 👍👍
Perfect example of a liberal.
After watching this video 5 times I think I would have a better chance finding my girlfriends G-spot!
Don’t worry fellas I figured it out since he gave a horrible explanation with no visuals to show…so you want the squealer (metal clip thing) on the opposite side of where your caliper pushes, for my car the silver clip goes towards the bottom. Hope this helped more than the video.
So the leading edge is the edge that the rotor meets first as the car is rolling forward. Basically if your caliper is mounted on the rear of the axle the leading edge will be on the bottom however, if your caliper is mounted on the front of the axle the leading edge will be on top.
what if your old pads didnt have them and the pads you just bought didnt have them connected to the pads… are they necessary? i have no clue where to put these lil #$%$^#$%#$~~!!!
2019 Ford Focus had the indicator on the trailing edge of the pad which seemed sensible to me as you don’t want the indicator being wedged between pad and disc
My outside pads always worn out more. Sorry but useless video.
The inboard pad is against the piston . The leading edge is towards the front of the car , usual towards the top of the inboard pad .
And I’m back to researching why I have the squeelers 2 on the top and other 2 on the bottom 😂😂😂
This video was absolutely worthless take it down
