New Brakes that squeak?!?

[CaPt Nimda]

I just had a whole LOAD of repairs done to my CB7, one of the replacements being the brakes. These brakes are brand new, yet, when I slow down to stop at a light or pull in to my own garage the brakes always squeak. Is their dust all over my brakes or something, or what?!?

You replace both sides (front and back)? Sometimes the metallic pads will squeak when cold and as they warm up they wont squeak no more.

Did you do the brakes yourself?If not,I would take a tire off and check the pads myself if i was in you're shoes....don't trust mechanics...

Put some anti-squeal on them. They might chatter a bit until they get broken in.

if you did them your self next time hit the rotor with 80 / 120 grit and the pad aswell it will break the surface of the pad and resurface the rotor

if your brakes are brand new and yet they squeal, you got cheap ass brakes,

I got ceramic breaks and the squeal too. Not all the time but usually after it rains.

If you ever compare Metallic to Organics...Ive always gotten Organics because they dont squeak at all....Metallic or Ceramics allways squeak....But Metallics and Ceramics seem to last longer...

I got all the repairs done over at Brake Max Car Shop. It's a good place, I've been there tons of times for many things and never had any problems. It's just really weird to have the brakes squeak when they are brand new.

Like stated above, put some of that cream they give you when you buy new pads to stop the squeeling. It goes on the shim of the pad.

i prefer organic over metalic any day.

my brakes squeel after i get new ones until they are broken in. it might take a few days for it to stop.
