Pad Slap - pad slab is a term often used by weekend mechanics to do a quick brake job. Its consists of just removing the caliper (but not the caliper bracket) and "slapping" in new pads. The rotor is reused. While this may get the job done quickly and cheaply it often does not produce optimum results with respect to proper braking of the vehicle with no noise or squeal.
