Something stuck in my front caliper??
I noticed some heavy "paper" stuck in or behind the front caliper on my '06 997 C4. Any ideas? Maybe a gasket? Any ideas. THANKS!!

Porsche used to put anti-squeal "pads" in the calipers, maybe that is what you are seeing?

also known as shims. I wouldn t drive it until you pull the wheel and then caliper to see for sure. I mean, it will stop but if that the metal shim which came off the back of the pad it may further wedge itself and damage something else. Not a big deal, a 10 min check.
