I just got my brakes replaced not more then 4 months ago..and they squeek when i apply the brake..

i took the front tires off..everythin looks fine..plenty of pads..no wearing funny..nothing missing..everythin tight..sprayed it all down in brake cleaner..seems to be fine..

i just didnt know what to look for..id like to see if i can see something wrong before i decide to put the tires back on luggin them around on and off isnt fun and only wanna do it the least i have too..

any suggestions?

 

hard spots on your rotors? you could have them turned and see if that fixes it.

 

its the pads.. need to go with wearever golds.. good ones

 

you paid to have it done, did ya?

replaced everything or just pads?

 

i had a friends shop do it..when we did it we turned the rotors..and put new pads on..cant remember the brand..best ones he could get..his cost was 65 bucks..its a 40% mark up so whatever that comes to..

no hard spots..everything looks fine..pads got plenty left..i havent laid on em hard or anythin..just normal driving..

 

did you grind the pads a little bit?

 

i have the same problem after tossin on OEM pads...went back to ford and they said to ruff them up and peal any paint off the edges and slant the edges so its not square on the rotor something about gases not being able to get out..

 

intresting..well i just sprayed down..i gotta do that tomorrow it got dark and i got a lil side tracked..ill show pictures of why i got side tracked but that will be later..

thanks for the tips

 

Try putting some fresh anti-squeal compound on the backs of the pads.

 

Mine do the same thing, but only after it has rained, etc. Im sure its just rust on the rotors...

 

spit on it -_-

 

are they glazed? they will squeak then

check the back? mine make more noise back there than in the front...

 

i talked to nick last night on AIM he gave me this 10 min sermon on brakes..lol..

its rainin right now so ill wait for it to stop but im gunna stuff em up..and angle the front back and the sides..

they got hot and formed a glaze on em and its just squeeks..but it will all be fixed this week
