About 2,000 miles ago i got new front and rear brake pads, and new front rotors. I know eventually it will stop, but its warm out and i have my windows down, and all i hear when i brake is a long, loud, SCREAM!!!!! It's been raining and when the rotors get cold the screech gets almost unbearable. Does anybody have a neighborhood around New Paltz NY that they would like me to irritate at night with my brakes? Pay me and I'll do it. LOL. Any tips on what i can do, or do i just have to stuff my ears? Thanks in advance.

 

Brake squeal is usually caused by sympathetic vibrations between the pad and caliper, but caused by contact w/the rotor.
A bit of Brake Quiet, a red product that come in a squeeze bottle, spead on the back of the pads and allowed to dry before applying the brakes should do the trick, Lev.
I have been know to cut and use a hi-temp gasket material as a shim between the pad and caliper also. Same idea.

 

Brake Quiet is the ticket.

 

brake quiet does the job

 

Thank you soooo much. That is the first thing i will do in the morning, even though it is roughly 2am EST. Thanks again Fellas!
