Ok i cant stand it anymore. my god damn brakes wont stop squeaking and its driving me nuts. they only squeak when im braking, not when i just drive normal. they are really bad if im on the brake light, but if i hit them hard they dont squeak. the pads and rotors are less then 4 months old. what the hell can i do??? please help!


P.S. i think i have a sticking caliper, my car veirs right when i drive normal, and pulls harder right when i brake. i dunno if that could be a cause of the squeak or not. im not sure if the caliper is sticking or i have a bent control arm, cause after i slid off the road one time, i bent a wheel bearing, and when they fixed that they went to do alignment and told me they couldnt get it exactly, i could have a bent control arm. so if i could get help on that, it would be great too

thanks!
 
I use SIG (orange stuff in a tube) on my pads, it works great. Or you could file a little off the front and rear of the pad to make a slant, and make sure the paint that is on the side of the pad is scraped off.
That stuff can cause squealing.
 
I had the same problem when I replaced the OEM pads and rotors with Raybestos pads and rotors (I used the blue anti-squeak stuff as well). They were quiet at first but as time passed, they squeaked more and more and more. Finally, I couldn't stand the embarrassment any longer. I went to www.tirerack.com and ordered and then installed the ceramic pads and standard rotors they offer. That cured the problem.
 
How do you bend a wheel bearing? :confused:

Either buy the cheapest pads in the world or buy the ceramic pads. One of them should cure it. :thumb:
