brakes that squeal

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

whats the best thing to do to stop brake squeal its got newish pads so is here a cure or is it new discs and pads ??????????

[flyingbanana]

if they are new ...its most likely to be brake dust ...just clean them up and it should sort it

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

the discs arnt new but the pads are newish

my alternator jammed the othe rnight and the rubber belt was just chaffing round the pulley/ now thats a squeal lol

 

im sure theyl wear in mate

[Von Loxlee]

my brakes squeal a beauty as sooon as they get a bit warm

 

 

bloody lost the little anti squeal shim things when changing the pads

[RETRO_AL]

some pads sqeal worse than others,mine are realy bad but i dont care aslong as i stop,you did put some copper ease stuff on the back?

[negri]

copper ease on the back and you could grind/buff the edges off the pad material just to take the edge of the pad

Putting copper grease on the fronts helps stop brake squeal also..

 

 

 

 

Causes a lot of driver squeal when you next try to stop in a hurry though.

That is a trick often used in one make championships on the rears, some cars have too much bias to the rears especially when all the interior is removed. The brakes can't be modified in any way and bias valves are not allowed only pads are free, so holes are drilled in the pads and filled with copperslip

thats a bloody clever idea but scary if some1 gets overzealous with the grease

That and the neatly hidden "rear brake reduction valve" from a Sierra

Best way to stop them squealing is not use them ....

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

ive cleaned them and cleaned them again and again ive got the calipers free enough to brake evenly and the sqeal isnt half as bad as it was but the fooking things arnt releasing correctly so now binding and getting hot so now gonna have to strip them again tomorrow

 

then got the rear brakes to sort out (leaking cylinders)

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

job done great stuff

 

next job on the brakes eventually is vented discs and a spacer kit for my callioers
