Default Re: Fresh cut rotors...and new pads...

The squeal is coming from the brake pad which moves against the caliper ever so slightly. I went nuts when I changed my Dodge Ram brake pads....wouldn't stop squealing. You can go to an auto parts store and purchase an item that is usually called brake quiet, or something to that effect. What it is, is a spray that goes onto the back side of the brake pad....the side that touches the caliper (DO NOT put this on the pad side). It is usually a blue color and you want to spray in a well ventilated area. You spray it on and let it dry for about 30 minutes. It gives the back side of the pad a rubber coating, which when installed against the caliper, makes it so the pad doesn't move against it, causing the squeal when you stop. Trust me, it's nice!!!!! No more squeal killing your ears.
