Mac0892 Member 72 Member For: 11y 6m 5d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 21/07/14 05:22 AM Share Posted 21/07/14 05:22 AM ok, so I replaced my front pads and rotors about 5 months ago. work fine. except the front right has a squeal at all braking applications except borderline lock up. last night I was going for a drive through the hills and down the freeway and I could hear a really high pitched noise. turned audio and heater off, put window down, could hear a squeal coming from the front right wheel. happens around the 80kph+ mark. put it on a hoist today and span the wheel by hand. could hear the squeal then aswell. I put some of the crc paste on the front pads and have chamfered part of the pad down to no success. I even took the metal seating off where the pad goes and span it up (which got rid of the squeal). couldnt hear it when the caliper was lifted off the pads.any ideas where to go from there or if anyone has had a problem similar to this before?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just figured the pads and rotors would cut it for the power I haveI'll have a go at that tonight panda. Almost tempted to find something to glue the shims the pads sit in to the caliper jist incase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After about 4-5 applications they started the squealing again. Putting it back on the hoist again tonight, throwing in my spare set of pads and applying just more than enough of the crc paste to the pads. Would be nice to have a bit of quiet when slowing down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
