Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 My front brakes squeak, so I went out and bought new brake pads, but my pads were fine, so I returned them? I get a lot of dirt on my front wheels. What is up? Calipers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94birdman Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hi Ryan, I'm Ryan. I wouldn't worry about it. I just recently replaced my front pads and rotors and they squeak louder than the other set that were probably 13 years old. I think disc brakes are just tempermental.

Guest Hal Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Wrong ^ When do they squeak? All the time, in the morning, in reverse? Why do you say the pads are ok? About the dust, you most likely have a stuck slide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heelside1647545510 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 if you have a stuck slide, youll notice that your pad is not wearing right, if this is the case throw a little anti-seize on the slides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 The squeak bad in reverse. As in the pads looked fine, they had tones of pad left on them, looked brand new. They squeak when at the end of my stop. Depending on how much pressure I apply to my brakes, they will squeak. They dont tend to squeak when the car has been sitting for a bit. (Overnight) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
351mach11647545510 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 try cleaning them with brake cleaner (brake dust will do that) and pull your pads out and put some anti sqeak on the back of the pads and grease the slide pins. problem should be bye bye.

I think disc brakes are just tempermental. propablely because you didnt lube a damn thing while you was there... most squeaks are caused by a vibration..be it dry mounting points, lack of shim's, etc. Ive been installing brakes for over 14 years, not one pulls away noisy. And youre tryying to agree with me about brakes? But there so simple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, if you've had a sticking slide for a short time the built up dust will cause a squeak. You may not see a difference in pad thickness depending on the time it has been stuck. Make sure you lube all mounting points to prevent squeaks. Also make sure you lube the slides and that they function properly. While you've got it opened up, check the caliper to make sure it's not sticking. If by chance the squeak doesn't go away, I can get you in at work any time.
