When I replaced the rear discs the new pads seemed to have anti squeel materal on the back of the pads so I left the steel shims out.

Now the back brakes are sqeeling a bit but I can't remember which way up the steel shims go, they have an arrow on them, does anyone know which way they go?.

The arrow points in the direction of wheel rotation. ( When going forward.)
