First, as my breaks warm up a continuious squealling seems to start. I originally thought that the pads were going bad but after replacing them discovered that it was not the pads. What makes it all the wierder is that sometimes when I make a rather hard right turn the squealing seems to stop for awhile.

Second, when I removed the old pads I found that they were slighly glazed and had very small cracks in them.

I was hoping to gain some insite before I do a complete swap of rotors and pads or have someone do it for me. Thanks in advance for any help on the issue.

I'll bet it's the sliders that the pads go on, the shiney clips that go on the caliper bracket. If the tabs aren't bent in to prevent it sliding itself, it squeels, mine did. Plus, put some anti-sieze on the tabs of the pads and some on the sliders, not too much. Try it.

 

Thanks I'll give it a try
