For the past 1000 miles my left rear wheel has been sqeuking/squeling whenever moving fairly slowly and off the brakes. As soon as I applied brakes the noise went away. Pulled the wheel and check the pads, they were about half worn. I had an extra rear pair lying around so I swapped out the old pads for the new, figuring this would take care of the noise. About two days of noise free driving until today, I was at a light slowly moving forward and the squeel/squek came back. Can anyone offer some imput? This only occures at low speeds when I am off the brakes. Thanks!!

Your pads are not vibrating because of surface friction PER SE. The noise is a very high freq oscillation of the pad backing, against the piston. There are anti-squeel pads, adhesive attached to the pads' backing surface. Don't try grease, or other nonsense. Get the pads @any parts place. cheers- doug |

Thanks Doug,
Besides new pads, (the ones on there are five days old) is there any antisqueel ?compound?, I can buy.

I had a similar problem once and it was not a pad problem at all, the discs were glazed because the pads weren't coming off the discs properly when I released the peddle. Had the discs ground and lubed caliper mech. and noise went. For what its worth.

any napa store sells a product called SIG
silence is golden
its a gold colored high temp rubber compond that gose on the back of the pads
and yes in mild cases of squeel it works
when i say mild, if you have deep gouges from grinding iron based sand into your rotors off road that would be extreme.
but if its just the second set of pads on a rotor or something it will queit it right down |
