Brake Screeching =(

[VzVzVz]

Hi all,

As I come to a stop in my VZ ute, the front right brake really squeels under light brake pressure. The pads are reasonably new and the car was only serviced a month ago.

Help?

Bump.
I has the same problem.

Same here. New rotors and pads and squeeling worse than ever. Is it possible the callipers are ****ed, and are causing the pads to constantly rub?

Ive seen stuff at penrith autobarn called "Brake Quiet" im guessing it would help, it generally depends on the pads, i have a VS Statesman with stock brakes and they dont squeak but my dad has green stuff pads on all of his and they all squeak.

Did the dealership replace the pads/rotors at the service? If so, I'd say take it back and road test it with them.
If not, maybe take it to a brake specialist to get a professional look before you start messing with it.
Last thing you wanna do is do something to it, and then not stop when you need to :bomb:

alright, what i'll do is get all the wheels off, check the pads, check the rotors for rings, and maybe change the pads if needed

I think it's the pads, but don't worry, just get them checked

mine started squeeking early too, but the brakes were working ok

the only reson I can think of is cuz sometimes my brakes are hot ( just coming from a highway ) and then I drive in some water puddles near my house

when I changed the pads they were all cracked real bad, so I think I'm right ...

There are some sprays that stop the squeel. or say they do i have never tried one. supercheap, autopro repco or whatever will have it

 

[strgas]

remove and clean the back of the pads then apply kwik grip adhesive allow to dry and reinstall . this will stop dust build up between the pad and calipers , check and clean and lube caliper slide pins ???

just buy new rotor, i have the same problem. it cheaper to get new one then getting them skimmed
