its applied between the pads and caliper and on the caliper bolts and slides. it helps to reduce unwanted noises and keep things moving smoothly. wherever theres metal to metal contact you put it in the drum brakes.
its usually a thick silicone grease, but white lithium can work. generally though, brake quiet works better between the caliper and pad. its usually a bright color and dries rubbery. -------------------- |
