I just did my breaks today, and they squeak. What causes that? I put anti-squeal stuff on the shims. Should I have put it on the pins where they contact the pads and the tensioner as well? Info please!! I hate squeaky brakes!

 

What kind of pads?

 

just oem replacement pads, nothin fancy. Semi- metallic pads, if that makes a difference. and unfortunately i was unable to have my rotors resurfaced or replaced at the time.

 

Try re-bedding them in. 6-10 moderate stops at 35mph and 2-3 hard stops at 45mph. Preferably with about a minute of rest (i.e. driving w/o having to brake so the brakes cool down) between each stop. Don't drag the brakes when you do brake and try not to let the car come to complete stop when you're doing the bedding runs.

 

Cool Ill try that thanks very much!
