I just put on OEM Lockheed pads front and rear, 2002 Discovery II, and they squeak like a mother f****r, sounds like a city bus stopping. Didnt replace the rotors because the truck only has 25K miles. Rotors dont seem to have sustained any damage. Any Suggestions.

LR engineered them that way to let you know that they haven't fallen off on the way to the mall - as far as I can tell.

Its due to the vibration between the metal back of the pad and the piston - and/or the vibrating action of the pads on the pins they slide on. The anti squeal stuff at autoparts stores is a kind of grease for the back of the pads. Try it.

The Lockheeds I bought recommended anti seeze compound on the back of the pad and the pins. Just a thought. Gordo. 89 RR
