Hey whats up everybody.....
About a couple weeks ago my brakes started squealing... I figured it was the wear sensor tellin me a change was due soon, then I started hearing some rubbing that sounded like the calipers were runnin a little close to the rotors so I changed the pads out.... After I got the old pads off... they werent badly worn... looked a bit glazed though.. so I put in new ones.... Well... My car is still squealing/squeaking when I brake and I hear the rubbing/grinding noise when I drive.... The noise is especially loud when I turn right..... I have changed brakes quite a bit over the years, and it has always been a simple task for me... but this is new.... My rotors are fine, so I dont think anythig is rubing on them badly... but this noise is really concerning me.... could anyone tell me what else besides worn pads and possible wheel alignment problems would cause this noise?? I'd appreciate any responses..... -------------------- -M-

1. You may need to switch brand or type of brake pads; some are a lot more prone to squealing. Also, did you replace front and rear pads?
2. Did you get the discs refaced or replace them? If the pads were glazed, the discs are probably also glazed, and this can cause squealing. 3. Did the pads have shims or did you use anti-squeal compound? Also, you should check to be sure the dust shields are not rubbing on the discs. Normally the CV joints make a clicking or grinding noise when they fail, I have never heard one squeal. |
