    Brake Squeal

    well i fitted my new front rotors and pads + rear pads today and i have realy bad brake squeal i think its the front brakes i only drove for about 8 ks

    do you have anti squeal shims fitted....?
    are they the right way around....? the "D" is for down.....


    otherwise......chamfer the leading edge of the pads......
    cut a groove in them from the top to the bottom.....3/4 the depth of the friction material......
    and de-glaze them before you refit them......just rub them on some concrete such as the footpath......

    its a common problem.....



    did you use bendix pads.....?

    Stops the squeal unfortunately not the car...

    I had an annoying one for a couple of weeks it ended up being a bit of quartz rock from our last mud bath

    As soon as I fitted dba slotted roters I had brake squeal ended up using pbr anti squeal adhesive about $7? for a small tube from any auto shop or even better CRC disc brake quiet 2x the price but bigger bottle, enough to last several life times of the home mechanic
