Sicotic Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I've dont about everything to try and stop the squeaking it doesnt stop. I did the glue stuff that goes on the back of the pads still nothing, turned the rotors and still squeak. It's on happends at under 5 mph. When i go through my gate to get on post it is so loud. Any Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rice_rocket Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Wouldn't suppose you just have part of the dust shield etc scraping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rice_rocket Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Oh.. one thing I noticed when I did my brakes (and thought they were getting old) Was that the little teeny clips on the brake pad.. well one of them "sprung out" and was sticking out.. it made the squeak. These LGT pads are the only ones I've seen where the front pad had two different sets of these little metal buggers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowImg Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Make sure you put them in the right place! The rear brake pads actually are different inside vs outside, but it's very easy to not notice that and put both insides on one corner, and both outsides on the other corner. If you do this, they will drag/squeal (ask me how I know). It's a very facepalm moment when you realize what you've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sicotic Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Its only the front brakes, ill check the clips even tho i thought they were on fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZP Installs Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 When you did the brakes did you bed them in? On the side of the box there are instructions for new pads. It normally consists of a few hard stops from 55 to 10mph. If you didn't do that then it is possible to get grinding or squeaks from the pads. Also did you grease everything when you installed them? That is another culprit of odd noises.  -Jake http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg http://upload.pbase.com/image/137566671.jpg Call directly for your best Whiteline Price! | We also carry almost every manufacturer now, so before you buy parts call us.
