Squeaky Brembos!! Is there a fix?

[lmiller]

Hello all,

My front Brembos are driving me mad, the noise they make are just far too loud! Is there any fix to stop the squeaking?

Any help would be appreciated, its embarassing!

What discs and pads you running? And how old are they?

Iv heard WD40 works a treat! Let me know how you get on

I dont know, had it a few weeks and were on the car already. WD40, hmmm no thanks!lol

First thing I'll suggest is just a strip down, clean and grease the pads. Make sure they move freely in the caliper. Squeaking is usually a sign of the pads sticking in the slides of the caliper.

+ 1 for this should sort it..

As above, running DS2500's with lots of grease on the back and on the sliders and they're silent.

Could this also be from pads glazing (due to bad breaking, trailing)?

I had squealing with ill-fitting cheaper pads (too small for fitting inbetween the guides).

Recommend Brembo originals or Ferodo DS2500 as already mentioned. Also check that the pad shims are still fitted (4 per caliper, top and bottom).

Whilst you're there, look for any sign of corrosion under the lower shims. Signs of this will be that the pads are a very difficult fit - you can either have the garage grind down the edge of the pad back, or have the shim out, clean up corrosion underneath and refit.

My Brembos were squeaking recently and the discs were really worn so I took the discs and pads out and cleaned everything up with degreaser and brake cleaner, then fitted new pads and discs. Applied a fair amount of copper slip to the backs of the pads and there is no squeaking now.

When I tried removing the pads on the back sides of the calipers were seemed to be stuck to the pistons and needed a bit of prying with a screwdriver to remove them.

oh and I replaced with Pagid pads and discs.

My pagid pads squeak as well

My discs and pads were also squeaking badly, but it was down to them being worn.. replaced with pagid and no more squeaking noises!
