    Default Squealing brakes new pads/rotors..

    i dont know too much about brakes, except how to change the rotors/pads and bleed etc.. but i replaced my pads/rotors, a few months ago, and im getting a crazy squeal at the end of my stops. I was thinking of jsut taking them back and getting a better brand. but ive had a few people tell me to do a few things to stop. i bedded the brakes properly...

    disc brake quiet on the pads..
    sand paper on the pads to get the glaze off
    re adjust the tabs
    take the pads back get better ones..
    re grease the back of the pad
    spray brake cleaner on the caliper

    they are just a set of regular pads, but its just a regular car so i didnt think to get anything special.

    Are you looking for a performance pad or just any pad? AutoZone has some decent cheap pads that we havent had any problems with yet.

    Put silicone brake grease on both sides of the shims. Autozone, Advance Auto, etc. has small packets of it at the check out counters. No need in getting a bottle of it because it will last you 20 years, lol! More expensive pads come with it in the box [some times] but I wouldn't doubt it if manufacturers stopped that all together with the way the economy is...

    Most brands don't come with it anymore. We used to get it with every box...not anymore.
