The brake guy could be installing the pads incorrectly. Each pad goes on a certain side.

1.) Make sure he greased both of the pad slides
2.) Make sure he's certain he installed the pads on the correct sides.

LOL that would be a major problem hahah

I'm going to pull them off tomorrow. Any idea I can know which side each pad is supposed to be on?

jsally123 · 12-12-2014, 08:32 PM

So here is the latest. .Pulled them off and put the appropriate lubricants on. its still squealing!!!! What should I do?

RKCamaro13 · 12-12-2014, 08:55 PM

The only other thing I could think of is that the rotors were not bedded in properly.

If the pads are aggressive and of a high metal content you might have to just live with it.

You guys think non ceramic brakes would fix it?

jsally123 · 12-15-2014, 10:00 PM

Just ordered some Hawks. Should hopefully do the trick

jsally123 · 12-20-2014, 09:09 PM

Alright! The hawks went on and about three days later they are squealing terrible! WTF! I did the proper bedding and lubrication and its still squealing? Does this mean the rotors are causing it?

RKCamaro13 · 12-20-2014, 09:34 PM

That's about the only other thing it could be. You could try to have those turned, but around me pretty much no one will do it because of liability issues. Or you would have to get new rotors, I would suggest with going a higher quality rotor, rather than getting something cheap. Sorry you had to go through all this trouble with the brakes, but you get what you pay for I guess.

Thanks for all the lesson, learned my lesson

Hey it could have been worse. At least you learned it on a relatively inexpensive mod rather than a multi thousand one. I've made my share of mistakes and still learning today, but that's what the forum is for, learn from others screw ups.
