Squeeling Brakes problem

[matar123]

I used to have this problem just take the pads off put some grease on the back not the anti squeal stuff just heavy duty grease and that should fix it.

Mine will squeal on slow light stops. A few hard stops seems to clear it up for a while. Its the nature of the beast I think.

Ebay drilled / slotted rotors , Callahan I believe.
Hawk front and rear ceramics from Amazon. No squeal since. Perfect, and no dust.

Torque Wheels with proper pattern helps... not the impact gun.

MY stock one's squealed and rusted quickly. The Ride Tec 864121/126 Rotors and Hawk HB8453B.585 & HB194B.570 Pads have been a great setup for me, but cost 2x over the Powerstops. No squealing at all, and minimal dust. Maybe the cost difference does not matter, but not all rotors and pads are equal. Proper cleanliness before assembly, lube of the pads AND Pins, and smashing the brake pedal to bed them is a huge factor to avoid squealing. To me, the roller skates look hideous, but I am sure GM put them on there for a reason for the stock Bembro Rotors and Pad setup. If your rotors show scoring, then turn them and flat sand the pads (any pics?). The second Pic attached shows holding the lubed pin. The last pic is a properly bedded rotor - smooth and a dull shine.

Or you could use them like they were meant to be.

ceramic pads squeak, there are a lot of options when it comes to pads, it can be confusing. I opted for Wagner pads. They are stock replacement pads. Unless your doing some hard core road racing, I really dont see a need for upgrading the brakes on these cars, GM did a pretty good job designing these cars.

Mine made so much noise I couldnt take it. Tried the hard stops....had them serviced under warranty. Nothing worked. Went to my local parts store and bought the only set they carry for my car. Semi metallic fronts with ceramic rears. Have had zero noise since. ..its been great. I was also told by a guy at a car show that races on road courses that full ceramic pads are to hard for the stock rotors. Who knows but mine work great and are quiet.

will have my Akebono pads on soon... have them on other cars and they quiet, no dust, brake just fine.

I ordered this same kit and they came in today. The front brake pads that came with mine have the roller skates on them so they must have gotten complaints and changed pads.

Edit. I missed where the OP mentioned in another post that his had the skates on them too.

How do I fix this? I followed the bed-in instructions pretty closely but may have had some hiccups due to 5PM traffic D:

I hear you can shave the rotors and rebed, how much life does that take away from the rotors? (They are brand too new)

Thanks!

When you say bed in process, do you mean burnishing???If so this may have be your problem...

It was the bed process that was on the box instructions.

Accelerate to 40, brake to 10 (5x)
Accelerate to 35, brake to 5 (5x)
Ride for 3-5 minutes to cool.

An update, friend and I took off the front wheels and brakes and greased/anti-squeel on the stuff, it was fine for a day and now it squeeling again.

Get your rotors turned/resurfaced, get a new set of pads... don't use the set you have now, and add enough brake quiet (or grease maybe?) so that its not coming out the sides... try again... I feel ya...
