Guys,

Recently changed out the stock pads for Project MU pads... started out w/o any squeeks, and they have gradually (after about 600 miles) begun to squeek when braking at low speeds when you first start driving the car... this is not what my post is about though.... something very strange is happening in when I move the car in reverse or forward it will sound like the brakes are squeeking even though I'm not braking!

What could be happening? It only happens at very low speeds and tends to go away... again, to explain it... I will roll the car backwards very slowly and it will squeek as if I were braking... tends to happen more in reverse than forward (from what Ive noticed)....

Could the extra dust from these new pads be causing it? If not, what? Help!

 

did your rotors get recurfaced?and did you bed your pads?the lack of bedding would be the main cause of noise

 

hm. sometimes my Evo does the same thing when going slow in reverse. And my brakes are totally stock.

 

no resurfacing... and could you explain what you mean by bedding the pads? i had them done, didnt do them myself

 

wow hrmm.. strange... anyone else?

 

Yep, I noticed this when my girl was driving my car next to me. Kinda loud.

 

bedding pads is basically the process of transfering the pad material to the rotor so that it creates the right amount of friction for optimal braking and so they make direct contact with eachother w/out another material(old brake pad material for example)in between,i have only resurfaced the rotors once out of four sets of brake pads and trust me the most noise comes from lack of bedding/pad transfer
