Daston Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hi guys, Changed my front brake pads last month and they were quite squeaky, at first I thought it was because they haven't worn in but after 300 odd miles later they are still squeaking quite bad. Could this be caused by not changing the anti squeal pads when I changed the brake pads? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gzaerojon Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 when you fitted the new pads, did you remove the anti squeel shims off the old ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattanna Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hello mate, lucipher did my front pads and put new squeal pads on and they still squeal when warm, but not if you brake hard, which discs did you use?, usually the disc but it is not a brake problem just slightly annoying Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 yeah mine only squeal when gently braking. Using the standard disks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Put some copper grease on the back of the pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
