Thread: Loud squealing when applying Brakes on my Defender

I have found OEM pads to be squeal free......ensuring you install as per instructions.

I assume that's with the Shims and springs for the pins, etc ???

Rough idea of the $$ for OEM pads ??

Yep, no idea what I paid as it was a while ago, I do remember I purchased from MR

Im willing to bet your disks are glazed. I put new pads with CRC silicone pad glue in mine and they still squealed.
A sanding disk on my drill fixed the problem.

Yeah already did the sanding disc thing but it only worked temporarily. The discs are still new.
Hoping the CRC might have been a solution, but a different pad might have to the solution in the end

Guys,

After some names of different Brand Pads that people used on the rear of their Defenders that they have had success in not having squeaky brakes

What are the brembo brakes like?

One last crack at trying to solve the squeaky brakes - I've tried a product called "CRC Disc Brake Quiet". So far its working with the VERY HIGH pitch squeal now gone but I'm yet to go on dusty dirt roads and 4wdriving so time will tell, but all good for the moment....

I also use the CRC product and have done for years on many cars.
I love it but have found on my TD5 110 that with Bendix 4x4 pads on a glazed disc it still woke up the whole suburb!
