Oh god, what can I say. We bought used Marc recently. Before replacing the brake pads, we could hear the same squeaky noise and the same even after replacing new one. Paid fully, I was almost into depression with noises but my husband saved me . Had a long conversation with sales man seems not working out. Taken to other mechanic said it’s very small issue. Applied lubricant but didn’t help. Sales man said drive drive and drive and we drive everyday even if we don’t have to go anywhere. How long should we drive to get rid of fucking noise. I need a permanent solution for it. I had a feeling that the car is rusted by living alone in rain for very long and the noise is another level. We need expert help. Thank you.
Just had brand new brakes put on my car of my choice. Everything was nice and quiet for the first week or so then the noise came back which sounded like the pads were not replaced. The grinding noise is exactly liker it was before the pads and rotors were replaced but only on the front left side which puzzles me.
@@rockypatacchi mine squeak too and it’s so annoying I’m hoping they just still need to be broken in but I don’t understand why after like 200 miles they still make noise
My new brake pads squeal first thing in the morning when backing my car out of the driveway but then are fine the rest of the drive and day. Would that probably be just the normal melding process with the pads and rotors?
In 8 months I have replaced my brake pads and rotors twice. A week ago Im still listening that damn noice. I need a proper solution. Im tired of listening to this squeaking noise. Please advice!
I just installed new genuine toyota pads and rotors on my 2007 fj cruiser. The rig stops fine but horrible squeal when coming to full stop? I lubricated everything with hi temp brake grease etc. Have had it apart twice now. No idea what could be causing this. Its got me at a loss scratching my head.
I’ve taken my 2021 Chevy traverse to brake masters, we’ve had both both axels rear and front rotors and pads changed, had squeaks after a week on front brakes, took it back to brake masters and they put on some higher end ceramic pads and replaced rotors again at no cost to me (luckily) they were adamant that these pads wouldn’t squeak at all, but here I am 2 weeks later with a squeak again from the front brakes, so should I give it more time to break in? I looking at the pads and everything through the rims I could see that they did change pads, rotors were brand new both times and I could see lubricant on the pads
Hi, Brake squeaking after replacing pads and rotors, even with high-end ceramic pads, can be frustrating. It's good to hear that Brake Masters replaced the components at no additional cost, but the recurring issue suggests something else might be at play. Give it Some Time: Sometimes, even new brakes can squeak initially as they are breaking in. Ceramic pads in particular might take a few hundred miles to fully bed in with the rotors. However, if the squeaking persists beyond that, further investigation is warranted. Please let me know how it goes!
Late response, but 5k miles later and brakes still squeak. It did subside a little bit for a while but it came back and still squeals 🤷♂️ brake masters are just as confused, maybe misdiagnosed????
Question - My 2015 honda civic si, OEM calipers, pads, rotors. Replaced pads around 60k-70k miles Rotors looked good at time & still have lots of material (tbh can't remember if I replaced those too). Car has 98k miles now. I have persistent squeal at ONE WHEEL I can't fix by lubing the back of the pads, and the metal brackets that hold the brake pad ears. I use permatex ceramic extreme lube for these areas, and re-greased the slide pins with sil-glyde.I know its the front passenger wheel because lubing it helped for maybe 1 week. Using Laser Temp checks after driving show consistent temps at all 4 wheels (pads are not dragging on rotors & generating heat). Pads on the front two wheels also show consistent pad wear, and no pad seems worn un-evenly, etc. The squealing occurs under light-to-normal braking, heavy braking makes the squeal go away. It does NOT squeal at low speeds (like a parking lot to 20 mph), squeals like this any speeds 30mph+ when I slow down for stoplights, etc. I depressed the caliper when I tried to diagnose recently, it depressed with a cheap hand-trigger clamp from walmart, although the drivers-front side compressed a little easier. Brake fluid is swapped every 30k miles ish. I DO drive aggressively. In a "spirited manner" if you will. Have I glazed the rotors or the pads? I am not sure how that is accomplished. What the heck is going on??? haha any tips? It's feeling like it might be the caliper going (pretty sure its original, car spent first 85k miles in the rust belt, now in Florida)
Hi Mark, hard to tell for sure without seeing the vehicle. here is what I think It sounds like you've thoroughly addressed many common causes of brake squeal, but the persistent issue at one wheel suggests a few possibilities: 1. Caliper Issue: The fact that the front passenger side caliper was harder to compress might indicate a sticking or binding caliper. This could be due to corrosion, especially given the car's history in a rust-prone area. 2. Rotor Surface Condition: Even if the rotors appear to have material left, they can develop a glazed surface from high heat and aggressive driving. This glazing can cause squealing under certain braking conditions. 3. Misalignment of Components: Sometimes, even slight misalignments of the brake pad, caliper, or rotor can cause squealing. Ensure everything is aligned and seated properly. 4. Brake Hardware: Check the condition of the brake hardware, including clips and shims. If these components are worn or not correctly installed, they can cause noise. Since the squeal stops with heavy braking and doesn't occur at low speeds, it's less likely to be a continuous drag issue and more likely related to specific conditions of pressure and heat. You might want to consider having a professional mechanic look at the caliper and rotor, particularly to assess if the rotor surface needs to be resurfaced or replaced. Please let me know how it goes
@@HonestMechanicChannel thank you for this hugely helpful reply! I'm going to educate myself better on visually inspecting for glazing, and look at the caliper more closely. I think the answer lies somewhere in there. I'll try to remember to update with the resolution!
@@MarkTrades__hey how did you fix it? I have the exact same car and I have that issue, brand new brakes, rotors and calipers, only squeak is coming out the passenger side?
@@andresmontoya4531 it was brake hardware combined with no lube basically. Mine was also front passenger. I lost the OEM hardware & made my own spring. It squeaked for a month or two but then the hardware settled I think, and now it's not very bad at all. With new OEM hardware I'd make sure everything's lubed.
@ heard, little worried, replaced everything last month, and I took everything apart and lubed everything, I still got the squeak and a metal to metal rub at low speeds, I guess I’m just gonna give it time
Almost a year ago I bought new Hyundai and it is my first car with automatic transmission (torque converter). From first day brakes squeaks when I in D or R slowly releasing brakes in order to slowly start moving, or in short moment prior to stop. They told my that this is normal for automatic transmission because in D or R car is pushing to move, so if brakes is slowly releasing but still touching wheels that cause that sound. But I can't believe that nothing can be done in this case. I ask some people and some told me that they have the same experience, with other brands too (even Mercedes and Audi), but some told me that they never had this experience with different cars with automatic transmission. Can you please tell me your experience with this, and your advice about what can be done about this? I have discs in the front and drums on the back.

Same exact issue with me
Any update ? I got the same thing lol
@@BizKnowledge6 I had the mechanic resurface my rotors again and replace the brake pads again which seemed to take care of the issue
@@BizKnowledge6update, they are making the sound again. Not sure what it is
