my front right has been squeaking like the hell and i cant seem to find the problem.
took the brakes out and cleaned them with brake cleaner and applied that brake contact grease thing that's supposed to help ease squeal. that dont work...... looked and check the brake pad clips and bent them to they fit really snug on the brake caliper bracket. i lightly scuffed my rotor and pad to see if there is any type of glazing that could make a noise or what ever. scuffed both sides of the rotor ![]() depressed the piston on both sides and blead the brake system while i was there ![]() and still the front right (pass side) still squeals. it squeaks especially when i apply the brakes at lets say 5%, and it squeaks when ever i turn to the left at about 3-15 degrees ![]() its getting really annoying, i dont have old brakes, just changed them recently, rotors were resurfaced at that time also. where is the noise coming from?!?!?!?! **could cheap brake shims that came with the new brake pads cause the squeaking??? -------------------- I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island

I had/have this problem as well.
Mine were getting really bad, until I noticed that I dont have all the shims that our cars are supposed to have. Each wheel should have 4 shims on it. After installing mine, the very loud squeal has gone away. At most now I hear a very faint noise that is mostly likely from the actual brake pads. What brand pads are you using and do you have 4 shims per side? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
