Everytime...
I replaced my front brakes about 2 months ago with brake pads from Auto Zone and they gave me 2 small tubes of grease so they will stay quiet. I put them on the back of the pads and they were great, but every morning I start the truck up (98 F150) and the brakes squeak bad for the first couple of stops. Now at first I thought this could be b/c of the dampness, but I'd park it in a dry area for about 4 hours; come back and the same thing happens. etc etc.
I don't think it is hurting anything, but it sure is aggravating, especially since my friends have Chevy's and theres don't make any noise. :( Its just a loud squeaking noise, but eventually stops. Is there some thing I can put on these babies so it will be silent. :) |
It's usually the moisture in the air. So you can't go to a "dry place". I always buy a can of spray on anti-squeak. It seems to work better than the goop that they give you. You could try taking them off and spraying them to see if it helps.

Thanks,
I'll give it a try. :) |
My brakes squeel about 2 blocks on a cold morning. After that they are done for the day usually.
Which pads did you get? the Albany like $35 dollar units? If so, return them and get the $50 carbon metallic units. We installed the Albany pads in CJs 97 4x4 and were chasing noisy brakes for about 2 months. Swapped the pads once case the backing plates were just glued on and they would slid down and hit the hub of the rotor creating noise. After 2 months, we bit the bullitt, paid the difference for the carbon metallic units. After an initial 500 mile breakin, no noise. Also the stopping really improved with those carbon metallics. |
Thanks man.:D :)

Had the same thing happen in my 54 F-100 when I changed it over to disc brakes. It is almost always cheap pads that cause squeaks....in a system with new pads, anyway. After changing out the cheap pads for the "premium" ones from the auto parts store....the squealing was gone. Who'd have thunk it?

Not True Man I got some after market metal pads and they squeal like crazy, But i gusse it depends on the brand you get, Any 1 have a good suggestion for some good pads that will last and not squeal thanks:)

Fair enough. Not all brake pads are equal. The ones I use and recommend are Bendix premiums...
