MiniStiGuy Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 So I have had this very, very, VERY annoying sqweek ever since I put my Hawk HPS pads on. I used high temp antisieze between and on everything as follows: back plate that comes built onto pad Middle plate with slots in it top backing plate All over the pad guide clips and they still skweek and I checked the pad guide clips and they aren't even near the rotor to be rubbing on it. This is driving me insane!!!! Today I took it all apart again and applied even more crap onto everything and took it out for a drive after and it STILL SQWeeks!!! I got my 60k service coming up so I'm planning on just having them look at the wheel bearings and hopefully maybe figure out how to stop the damn sqweek because I personally GIVE UP!

RaGe Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 well that makes two of us then. had a squeek. took them off. wire brushed the backing plate and cleaned the crap out of it. cleaned the guide clips. lightly sanded the pad. took it up the road and slammed on the brakes a good 5 or 6 times. got them nice and warm. figured i had some pad deposits. and guess what squeek. so i am all ears on this one. OTM. Sorry I didn't mean to start a war which mainly forum people is all about . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoDork Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 take out all the backing plates...so its just the caliper adn the HPS pads. That's what i rocked on my OEM setup!! no squeeky squeeky... and just a thin coat of goo on the back of the HPS pad. hope that helps! ~Sucka-Duck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniStiGuy Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 I thought about doing that actually. I'll try it maybe later on today after I'm done setting up my brothers PC. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandragonrage Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Performance pads are also noisy. I run with EBC Greenstuff on my Dodge Dakota and my Camaro and both are a little noisy, but not annoyingly so to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonts Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I'm running HPS pads for the last 2 months. No antiseize. No unusual install tricks. No squeak. Sorry. Wish I had a great idea for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
