Brake Pads For V35 Skyline

[Butzy]

Hey Guys,

Looking to replace my squealing bendex brake pads.

Anyone got any good recommendations for decent pads and where to purchase them.

Cheers

Bendix pads don't squeal, in fact no pads squeal. It always comes down to installation (cleanness, anti-squeal shims, copper grease, chamfer pads, bedding in pad and disc)

But you can change to something else if you like

Thanks for the reply mate.

I presumed it was the pads.

What would be the first thing to check to try eliminate the squeal ?

All the things in parentheses in Duncan's post.

No worries, I will try all of the above in Duncan's post.

Thank you

Sorry, I was a bit short in the first response but we get a surprising number of threads which say pad XYZ is crap because it squeals (not that you said that). Obviously no manufacturer releases a pad that squeals because they'd never sell the second set....

So basically, if you have a look around this section there are a lot more detailed suggestions, but basically brake squeal is caused by a high frequency vibration in the system somewhere, most often because something is not clean or flat.....top of the caliper's piston, missing or bent anti squeal shims, sliding pins not greased properly, pad not flat particularly on the leading edge for the rotor, rotor not sitting flat on the hub due to dust or rust

BTW if a workshop did the pads take it back for them to fix it, it can be time consuming and frustrating to chase an issue like this.
