I need some help here. I changed pads and rotors all the way around about 6 months ago. I still have most of the pad left, but the brakes squeak like mad. Initially, they only squeaked when I did not have the brakes applied, now they squeak all the time. I have taken the tires off to look for problems, but I can't find any. Anyone got some advise? | ||

That is the "advanced aural brake application warning". You did apply anti-squeel on the backs of the pads? My wife complained after I did mine , so I took it out on the freeway and at about 95 stood on the brakes, did it 3 times and it went away. I don't suggest that, but it cured mine. | ||

Maybe I'll do that after I invest in a helmet! | ||

What brand of pads did you use? We used to use Ferrodo and Mintex, and sometimes they'd squeak and sometimes not. We don't have problems with genuine pads ever. | ||

I've got genuine pads on both of mine... and if I don't clean them every 4-6 months they start squeelin. Kind of embarrising to be in a high profile vehicle and have it sound so white trash all the time. Ry | ||

So guys, does that mean that if the brakes are squealing is not nesesarly that the brakes need to be replaced? | ||

Right Marco, I replaced mine two weeks ago, and I still squeal every now and then. | ||

Its just brake dust that usualy causes the pig noise. I might try genuine LR next time I change mine. On my D1 they are really loud--I think I used Raybestos from Pep Boys (special order of course). Melissa | ||

i use mintex and axis pads..one in the same and i never have any squeeling.......the trick- make sure you put a nice heavy layer of anti squeel on the back of the pad.....also if you do a lot of wheeling make sure to rinse out those brakes so they dont retain dirt and dust cheers | ||

Actually now that I remember they kinda started to squeal by the time I used meguires wheel's cleaner, and I recall not using enough water to rinse it, but after that I went river crossing and a car wash as well, -Marco | ||

I had a local LR mechanic I trust tell me to spray the calipers with some stuff call MP "metal protection"? I didn't ask him where to get it and have not tried it but they claim it works great. I'll post the results after I try it. |
