Okay so I had just recently replace Rotors and pads all around, everything was fine until a couple days ago. I started getting a nasty ear piercing sqeal that sounds like its coming from my driver side front. I have tried everything I can think of I regreased the slides the caliper sit on, applied adhesive to the backs of all the pads, and hard braked a few times thinking i had some crud between my pads. The wierd thing is it doesnt sqeak when its extremely hot, or when I drive it when the rotors are cold, it only squeaks right before the car comes to a stop at around 5-10MPH. If anyone has anything your replies are greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

make sure that your dust shields behind the rotors are not touching or very close.

 

You know I was thinking about taking them off, I wasnt sure if that would hurt at all? But i think I'm going to do that and see if the noise goes away. I also applied a s*** load of the adhesive on the back of the pads and the sound is less frequent and not as loud, but still there none the less. The pads I have on there are duralast too, anyone have any issues with them? I was thinking of going with some ceramic pads eventually anyway.

 

My car has the same problem man. Its so obnoxious!!!!

 

If you do go ceramic you should replace the rotors. The ceramic pad create more heat and could warp the stock rotors.

 

ok...if you dont like noise...ceramic are a good idea, but may not be the answer. there is a break in with break pads...squeaking is just little vibrations from imperfections caused by breaking on old pads...the new pads will help fill in those little imprefections, you just have to give it some time....

 

Well the thing is for the first 300 or so miles the pads were fine no noise, so it was just a little odd to me. Thank you all for you replies

 

Anyone else have suggestions. I just bought my 2005.5 a4 and right rear is sqealing just under 10 mph whether applying brakes or not and whether clutch is in or not it sqeals. Do u think just needs the grease on the back of the pads. All was dealership maintained from previous owner. Has duralast pads on it as well.
