Holy bunnying Squeel!

brim · 06-30-2004, 03:26 AM

I had the front brakes and rotors done a few months ago. For a short while I had no problems, no noise. Now Every time in really light breaking 10mph- 0mph NON STOP bunnyING SQUEAL. I brought it back to my mechanic a state down and they put something on em, assuming some anti squeal, but it lasted maybe a day TOPS

I cannot stand it anymore, is there any solution to this that'll last?

Damned if I know. I'm having the same problem, and my mechanic has said that really the only way to get rid of it is with ceramics. I've got some anti-squeal break grease that I'm going to put on when I get the chance, and I'll post something to say how it works...

the other set of brake pads i had when i bought the car lasted me a while and i never heard a single squeak out of them

same thing happened to me... i just loosened the lug nuts a bit and they are much quieter now. it's still there, but i have to turn my radio all the way down and listen carefully. i'll probably take the wheels off this weekend and take a closer look. i know that some mechanics torque the hell out of the bolts when putting the tires back on, which could warp the rotors.

dude ya got to be kiddin right tell me your kiddin????
well the anti squeel grease is put on the back of the pad, it might be he didn`t cut the rotors, and could cause the noise
ask him if he cut the rotors
maybe switch pads and cut the rotors
and to you guy, iam sorry to say but over tightened wheels do not cause rotors to warp
:huh?:

oh ya maybe it`s brake dust sometimes that happens too
i would have the brakes totaly re done by some one else
but check the rotors

Yeah, after having SO many noise issues with different brake pads after I replaced them with aftermarket, I ask several shops what I should do. They all said that the N-body GM cars will have no noise issues with the stock pads. So I have aftermarket rotors (Raybestos) and GM pads. It seems to be a great combo. And NO noise.

i've got new front rotors, they went on the same time as the pads

its your pads. N-body cars don't deal well with most aftermarket pads. Some aftermarket pads seem to work fine while other cause a lot of nosie. If your stock pads lasted fine for you, I would get another set and put them on. I am almost positive that will take care of that nosie

The only thing I hated about the stock pads was that they only lasted 16k on my car. But I do all stop and go city driving. So that may have alot to do with it. The stock Rotors are what SUCK. As far as noise, stopping, and dust, I love the stock pads. When I first changed pads, I tried some Semi-metallic from a parts store, and they squeaked all the time. Then I tried raybestos cermaic pads and they grinded at every stop. The ceramic pads caused the wheels to get VERY hot also. So being sick of all the nosie, I went to the dealer and got a set of stock pads. I know they won't last very long becasue they are a softer material, but I am a freak when it comes to squeaky or grinding brakes.

i used some akebono ceramics and they are great along with brembo oem replacements. i also had some other ceramics from pep boys with the brembo oem and they worked great
our cars call for ceramic stock pads
