Hey just have a quick question. Can worn brake fitting kits/shim kits cause braking noises! Im talking about these below.

They're there to reduce brake squeal.

What do you mean by 'worn'!

sorry by worn i mean dirty/rusty and possibly bent out of shape! I know you can reuse them, but is there really any point in replacing them!
Thanks

Short answer = no.

No point in replacing them unless they're damaged or corroded.
