my front right has been squeaking like the hell and i cant seem to find the problem.

took the brakes out and cleaned them with brake cleaner and applied that brake contact grease thing that's supposed to help ease squeal. that dont work......

looked and check the brake pad clips and bent them to they fit really snug on the brake caliper bracket.

i lightly scuffed my rotor and pad to see if there is any type of glazing that could make a noise or what ever. scuffed both sides of the rotor wink.gif i did scuff both fr left and fr right (problem spot) while the car was up.

depressed the piston on both sides and blead the brake system while i was there laugh.gif

and still the front right (pass side) still squeals. it squeaks especially when i apply the brakes at lets say 5%, and it squeaks when ever i turn to the left at about 3-15 degrees frown.gif

its getting really annoying, i dont have old brakes, just changed them recently, rotors were resurfaced at that time also.

where is the noise coming from?!?!?!?!

**could cheap brake shims that came with the new brake pads cause the squeaking???

I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island

I dont think its warped rotors, i have new brembo blanks in front. Its gotta be something with the seating of the pads or shims or something. i dont know. I have heard that grease on rotors can make squeal but i dont think waxing is necessary really, lol.

the symptom for warped rotors will be some severe shaking on the steering/car when moderately braking, but thats when the rotors are really bad.

No, it looks like a hooker put her acid vag on your hood. Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings.
