Squeeky brakes

[Fireimp141]

When i say sqeaky, im talking peope stare squeaky... whats the prob, i replaced all pads and shoes just a wee bit ago. they still squeak. Cleaned em. they still squeak... what the hell?

[SWAMPER]

too dry 

[brainlessfool]

I'm aumeing that it's the fronts doing this. disc squeaks are made by the pads moving around in the caliper. there is some stuff out called "disc brake anit squeak" you aply it to the back of the pads, let it drie for a bit and put them back on. this should at least redues the squeaks some.    

[Fireimp141]

But what happens once u wear that part off? or do you soak em in the stuff or what?

[Mike D]

did you install those anti squeel shims included with the brakes

[Fireimp141]

My didnt come with any i got the autozone replacers...

[brainlessfool]

You buy a bottle and read how to use it, and then you do what it says.

it goes on the BACK of the pad. not the front. so it won't wear off. ok?   

[Fireimp141]

Oh, i get it ill try some of that stuff

[brainlessfool]

If you do as it says on the bottle and it works, just come back here and hit the little box that says "give" by my avatar!   

[Fireimp141]

I sure will!

[toyman2]

if that didnt work  try to beval the edges of the pads and shoes the pads have like a plastic coating on them that squels like pad wear indacator
a grinder works good but dont breath and be gentiel as the grinder takes it off fast

[Fireimp141]

Well i did both of those... dont know which one worked so i just gave u both a point, thanx alot guys!

[iNfErNaL]

[Skinny_Pedal]

Try a drug store?

[KYOTA]

For those heavy flow days

[Fireimp141]

haha, but anyways i got mine from autozone for like 12 bucks a pair i think it was... pretty cheap. My brakes still squeek but thats just cause i still ahve the  4cyl calipers, not v6

[Skinny_Pedal]

MIKEY AND KYOTA NEEDS TO STEP OUT MY GRILL B! anyway sweet. didnt know i could get BRAKE PADS for 12 bones. fire why would your brakes squeek if u had 4cyl calipers? your rig is a 4 cyl?  

[Mike D]

86 he said 12 bucks a pair so that like 24 bucks

[KYOTA]

MIKEY AND KYOTA NEEDS TO STEP OUT MY GRILL B!

and for those really irratable days

[Fireimp141]

Because now i have larger tires, which is more mass rotating, which would mean i would have to have more stopping power. V6 have more weight to the engine and with more power u have to have better stopping, which is why they have larger calipers and pads thats why!

[brainlessfool]

V-6 and 4 banger pads are the same. just the caliper is dif. butt don't see why it would squick with 4cly cals.

[Fireimp141]

i dunno, ill prolly just end up getting new vented rotors and performance calipers and pads and stuff. Once i get my job ill have alot of this stuff underway, but im going WT style as of right now

[brainlessfool]

don't you have vented rotors now?

[Skinny_Pedal]

i wouldnt call it wt style. i would call it normal, that me though and what do i know

[Fireimp141]

Yah, you know what i mean, the ones with the slots on them in the surface where tha pads hit w/e
