Squeaking brakes

Post by Danny212 »

My cars front passenger side break sqeeks at a slow speed or when the breaks are cold they aren't wore down I sprayed the caliper to see if there was any trapped dirt but it's still doing it, have any of yous experienced this and is there a solution? I was gonna grease it up a wee bit but ad rather get a bit of advice first :)

Bezt thing to do is pull out the pads and clean the metal to metal faces and then smear them with a thin film of copper grease. Do the same with any pins and make sure the anti-vibration spring is fitted correctly and has plenty of tension.

You can also squealing if the surface of the pad is glazed. If it is you need to roughen it up with some sandpaper.
