brake squeal help, cant seem to find the source.... Options

[808celica]

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 i did scuff both fr left and fr right (problem spot) while the car was up.

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???

go to your local toyota dealer. they have a shim kit for 20bucks. it includes 8 shims total for the front of the car. thats 2 shims per pad.

the reason for your squeal is like you said, because your one shim that you have is moving around. throw out that shim and replace it with the oem ones.
