ok, so after going threw the rear of my mark looking for anything that could be rubbing on my brakes... i gave up.

this past summer i went threw and put on brand new rotors, pads, calipers on my mk. and ever sense i put them up then have make a squeaking noise. this noise only happens when im lightly stooping, sometimes when i start moving, sometimes when i turn. i have no idea what is going on. ive taken my brakes on and off 8000 times... only thing i can see is that my pads are glazing. there are also very small groves in the rotor.. i mean very very VERY small. so i need help to stop them from squeaking... its so :q:q:q:qing annoying when you have the windows down. also i sanded all the glazing off the pads.

some one tell me whats wrong... also i just put on new lug nuts, and that help the problem just a little.

Tomorrow i will go out and take bukus of photos for you guys. photos of the rotors ect. ect. its going to be in the 60's this week. so id like to get this done.
 
+1 ^

Also, if you sand a beveled edge on them it will help too while the bevel is still there...
 
On my old 94 i had squeaks, and i also thought there was something wrong with my breaks, but it turned out to be the rear wheel bearings. just my .02
 
Old wise mechanic say grease back of pad with silicon brake grease and grease slide very good and pad will stop squeeking.
