My breaks have started squeaking!?
Answers:
YOU NEED TO COPPER SLIP THE BACK OF THE PADS THAT SIT AGAINST THE PISTON AND THE OUT SIDE OF THE PADS NOT THE FACE AGAINST THE DISC ITSELF.
HAD THIS HAVE DONE THIS CURES IT EVERY TIME
yeah u need new brakes
TAKE CAR TO MECHANIC
Parts stores sell "squeak stopper" go get it.
could be dust on the discs but get it checked
time for new brakes the squeak is cause by the dust from your current worn out brakes
yes it is time to replace them ,if you do it right away you may get off easy if not your in to 400.00 and it could run more.
Break pads could be worn out. If it's been awhile since you've had them replaced I would have them checked out.
Ok this one could be a couple of things.
1) Could be the pads have worn down to the "wear Sensor" which is this little metal clip rubbing on the rotor everytime you presson the brake. Basically your going to need Pads.
2) Have you recently replaced your brake pads? If so, could be the rotors were not resurfaced (cut or "turned") and the pad which is not creating a good friction surface is glazed over and causeing that squealing.
3) Wrong material of pad ( cheap pad) such as a metallic pad, try a semi-metallic or ceramic pad.it'll be softer on the rotor and disapate heat more effectivly.
Bad news..new brakes
If your pads or discs are ok and aren't worn out, then buy some copper slip [grease with copper particles in it] and apply to the back of the break pad this should stop any squealing..
if your not racing then organic compound pads aren't necessary as standard sinsterd [metallic] pads will last longer and work fine and are whats most likely to be fitted already..
If you require new pads or discs good motor factor that will be cheaper than a main dealer.
DON'T CONTAMINATE THE SURFACE OF THE PADS WITH OIL OR GREASE.
Most likely worn out disc pads, get a mate what knows about motors to check it out and if nescessary fit new pads.
Slow Fit will tell you you need new discs as well, but that is because their blokes are not insured or allowed to test and bed in your new pads on to the worn dics, which can take 50 miles or more.
Dust in drum brakes and a stone in a Disc shield can also kick up a real row.
could be dirt trapped in the brake linings or they are worn down and need changed pronto.
new pads or clean the old ones
i would say you need new brakes
get them checked asap
need replacements
You may have mice resident in your brakes. Get a cat to take up residence nearby, say just above the rack and pinion.
Have a look at the disks do they look worn are the pads worn?
Ive just had mine replaced and they sqeek but this is due to the fact i didnt put enough copper grease on them.
ask someone from a garage if you are dont know much about the subject!
thats an interesting question but hard to understand lol
The squeal clips are rubbing your rotors which indicates you need new brakes, The rotors may be glazed from excessive heat. Get them looked at right away before you start having metal to metal contact between your pads and rotors. If that happens then you'll need to buy new rotors too.
