Well i have hawk hp + pads and im having a BIG issue with noise. I replaced my pads and rotors about a month back. When i was doing the brake job i started first on the rear . By mistake i left the e-brake on and i tried taking the rear rotor off. Beating on it with a rubber mallet yea it wasnt coming off , so i finally realized that my e-brake was holding it on and got it off. When i pulled the rotor off the springs from the drum brake inside went flying everywhere. I found all the peices and put them back in along with resurfaced rotors and new pads.

Now under very light braking i get this VERY LOUD squeel from the passenger side rear brake , the same one i had trouble with and was beating with the rubber mallet . Hmmm what do you think my problem is? All the other 3 corners of the car only squeel under very hot and heavy braking

 

So anyone?

 

I believe its collecting to much dust, try to clean it with high presure hose.

 

my hawk pads squeaked kinda loud the first few days i got them... after a few hard braking situations they were broken in just fine and no more noise.

 

they are not broken in yet thats why i have the same pads for the first 2 months i baby them then after i got on them a few times it went away. Only when i brake from 100 to a stop they make noise.

 

Same with me. I broke mine in kinda hard though. I \"bedded\" them. I read an article on how to do it and broke them in like that. The only sound they make for me is coming off a 100 to 0 stop just like jmartinez1170

 

oh trust me they are beeded in .. Lots of hard canyon and street driving
