So it seems like no matter what I do my break always squeak. I thought it was just old ass breaks so I went out and got new ones... still squeak. Then I went out and go new rotors. Still squeak. I've tried just about everything under the sun. Does anyone else have this problem?
 
spend more money on important components like brakes.
get the expensive ones and problem will go away.

been there, done that.

get what you pay for ....

You have your breaks/brakes backwards here.


I'm just messin with you guys...lol. Dont get mad please!


If you replaced your pads and ran them on bad rotors and then later replaced the rotors without changing the pads again then yes...they will probly squeak. Also you need to use the proper 'bed-in' procedure. Not sure if you did that or not but it will help your squeaking issues. It can only be done on new brake pads and new/resurfaced rotors tho.

Did you use anti squeak grease on the back of the new pads? If not then maybe thats the issue. Lubricant of some kind between the caliper and the back side of the new pads reduces squeaking.

should be it's as in it is not that it owns that :) just messing with you
 
I changed my brakes a few months ago and developed a squeal with the new pads. I took off my rotor to check things out and found that the slide was rubbing against the top of the rotor. Bent the slide back more and the squeal is mostly gone. Probably different than what you are hearing but you should take off your rotor and pads and see if you see anything that might cause the squeak. If anything maybe readjusting them will help with it.

I'd say Hite337 gave you the best advise.

here:
