  • Brakes squeek

    does anyone know why my brakes always start to squeak loudly whenever i apply pressure to stop? it is starting to get annoying and my brakes are only 6,xxx miles old so they shouldnt be worn yet..any help is appreciated.

    they're probably glazed. Its from slamming on the brakes and what not, they heat up and get hard, hence the squeaking.

      does that mean i need new ones? could it also be caused by the fact that its only like 4 degrees here?

        Big Cutlass, what the deal baby? Say I am in school in Huntsville, but I'm from STL. Some times air passes through new brakes and that really can be the case. I had new ones put on my 96 and they give a little "high pitched squeak", now that sound is very different from the sound they made when they needed replacing, very different. That sound was more of a metal on metal like scraping noise, trust me when you have heard both, there is a difference. If it is getting on your nerves then you may want to have them checked, otherwise it may just be pressurized air passing through them, most new ones do at first :D

          When I installed my new brakes they squeaked a lot too. I took them off and applied a red liquid backing to the back of all the pads. This quited it down. After about 500 miles the new brake sqeak finally went away too. If you installed a new pair this might be the case.

            If they are glazed, you can take a file and work on each pad, till you remove the "shiney" look from them. Something else that helps reduce noise in the breaks is to file off the edges ar about a 45 degree angle. It helps, and doesn't reduce the break's lifespan, or abilities.
