matteh33 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Changed front brake pads, because that is where the noise is coming from. its the right hand front wheel. i look at the pads and they still have a lot of meat on them, but changed them anyway with some fero's or whatever they are, but still no luck, was ok for like 2 days, but now squiling like crazy again. went to supercheap picked up some spray to clean and take away noises brakes, still no luck. what do i do now? i pull up at the lights and once im almost stopped ( 10k's a hour ) this horrible squiling starts until i slam the brakes hard! any idea's? thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153762-brakes-never-stop-squiling/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmond98 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Are they still the standard breaks? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153762-brakes-never-stop-squiling/#findComment-2859184 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eug Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 did you bed them in properly? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153762-brakes-never-stop-squiling/#findComment-2859715 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanB Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Itll be the discs, feel up and down them for uneven-ness and cracks. new pads will last for a bit until the cracks in the rotors cut into them and you get un-even disc/pad contact again. You need to take the pads and the discs off and take them to a break specalist and have them machine the rotors and chamfer the pads. If the rotors are gone beyond the machining point then you will need new discs, I recomended DBA Slotted, or if you want to spend more money, DBA Slotted + Dimpeled, which are also gold passivated and zinc treated.

matteh33 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 they were bled , and are standard brakes. ive tried anti squil spray but no good. might go for slotted discs i think, thanks for the replies Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153762-brakes-never-stop-squiling/#findComment-2861685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 My front brakes were fine but would squeel like a pig just as the car was coming to a stop. My front rotors were glazed due to overheating and needed to be replaced (too thin to machine).

Betz Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I have this problem, I had my discs machined and pads replaced and they were noisy as hell, I took the car back and they looked at it and when I got it back they were better but still noisy.. stock rotors and Lucas pads, I havnt been back since because I have a problem with assholes pretending they know my car. I'll be trying the spray then if that doesnt work I'll pull them down myself and do them myself.. *shakes fist in hollow rage* Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153762-brakes-never-stop-squiling/#findComment-2862515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunatikk Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Either machine or replace your rotors & BED THEM IN PROPERLY http://www.zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153762-brakes-never-stop-squiling/#findComment-2867160 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tridentt150v Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 they were bled , and are standard brakes. ive tried anti squil spray but no good. might go for slotted discs i think, thanks for the replies I've got project mu slotted rotors and endless pads and they squeal. Having slots doesn't stop it squealling. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153762-brakes-never-stop-squiling/#findComment-2871286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trivial Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 it's the rotors. If it's not the rotors, it's the pads. If not the pads, make sure they have anti squeel. If it's not that..then it's the hub itself. Dust gets into them and rust over time can make the friction within the hub itself to cause squeeling.

PMATT Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Many pads these days squeal especially performance pads under light braking.Generally if the rotors are machined and the pads bedded in properly it will lower the chances of squealing.If you have the metal shims still on the pads take them off and try the stick on anti-squeal which goes on the back of the pad.These are available from Race Brakes Sydney for about $10. If you have performance pads or the brakes were not bedded in properly it may be to late though.

J_Red33 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I'm actually not sure what my pads are (haven't had to change them yet) but I've personally found that my biggest problem is when my stock rotors get wet. They get a layer of surface rust almost instantly! First few stops they squeil at low speed, but after that they're ok again.
