break squeek

[HarrierDJH]

since 3 months ago my breaks have been squeeking kinda bad, after i got new break pads on it still squeeks, me and my dad checked them out, and cleaned them and everything but they still squeek. does anyone have any clue?

did you do the 70 mile stop thing?
i think i heard someone here before say that you need to 'break in your brakes' by doing a 70mph stop, then slowly go down from there

like go 70mph, brake hard enough so you dont get the abs

do it from 50
etc.

The way i was told to season the brakes is to do a stop from 60mph at about 40% of total braking, and repeat adding more pressure on the pedal each time until you get to 100%.

I have the same problem, i've replaced the pads, rotors and just recently replaced the pads again. squeak goes away for like a week after replacing pads then its back again. i just live with it now.

When I got my brakes done, all I did was drive normal, No squeaks.

ya, same s#it with me. changed out pads and they squeek all hte time. yesterday i bought some brake cleaner stuff. stuff you just spray on your calpers and rotors. workes for a while but then wears off. so far, its the ONLY ting that has worked for me.

I used a light coat of rubberized undercoating on the backing plates of my brake pads to prevent squealing.

Here's a good article on brake squealing...
