Very useful write-up, thanks!

 

Great write-up thanks, Mine are not due 6700miles but I will be taking them apart to try to stop them from squealing after the get warm they start when coming to a complete stop from 10mph down, The dealer says “cannot recreate customers complaint” maybe bevel the leading edge and some stop squeal spray will do the trick.
I have noticed a lot of brake dust on just the rears.

 

ok...this is driviing me nutz. I just replaced pads and rotors. Everything was done correctly as far as I know. I have probably done 20 or so brake jobs on various cars and trucks. New rotors and ceramic pads. Used a synthetic grease on the pad retaining clips and still have a loud squeel when I apply the brakes. The sqeal sounds when I first apply the brakes and goes away as I press the brake pedal harder. I think the squeal is coming from the fronts. I have given the jeep a week for the brakes to "settle" but still have the damn squeal. I could see this happening if only pads were changed but theres brand new rotors as well. Anybody else have a similar expirience? I would appriciate any insite you guys could provide before i pull everything apart. Thanks, Mike

 

i get this too, from the old brakes and now the new one are starting.
on the new ones it's like you said; it's when first put pressure on the brakes then it goes away as more pressure is applied.
my squeal pulses too.

 

Trailbud...its enough to make you nuts...right? Maybe somebody will chime in with some help. I just dont want to take everything apart because i really dont know what to look for.

 

I was pulling the wheels and brakes every 3 weeks or so to re gease everything. it would help for a few weeks then it's back.
it drives me crazy

I had pad left on the old ones, but I thought by putting in new pads and clips and greasing everything it would fix it. It did for 3-4 weeks
BTW; This is on the rear.

hopefully some body might have found a fix or at least a cause.

 

I used that red spray coating stuff on the back of the pads, let it dry, then applied the grease. Still has a squeak every once in awhile , but not all the time like it used too.

 

sprayed the pads or rotors?

 

I used that stuff too on the pad backs , and clips too.
It did the same as the grease basically.

 

back of the pads, same places you put the grease.
