  • Brakes squeak

    I have had my brakes squealing for the longest time now. I changed all my pads, and it still does it! Ive had the new pads on for about 1000 miles now, so theyre broken in. How can I fix it?

    It could be your rotors...

    if your rotors are worn out, and you changed your pads, the pads will be worn out again as the old ones were because of the rotors..

    change the rotors and upgrade to high performance break pads to fix your prob [img]smile.gif[/img]

    i just did a total rotor/break upgrade and my stopping has improved noticably..

      well I don't know about a complete upgrade, but my first question would be did you have the rotors resurfaced (aka turned) ??? when you swapped pads.. if not then that could be part of your problem

        I have the same problem. I turned the rotors and put on new ceramic pads. I also had to replace a caliper bolt that had froze up inside and made the pads stay gripped on the rotor. Its doing it again and I dont know why.

        Anyway some one told me that these cars have problems with the brake hoses making it to that.
