Why do my brakes squeak everytime and i have new pads and rotors?
Occasionally, new brakes will squeak or squeal for a short time as the pads get "bedded in." But in general, brake pads that are properly installed should not squeak, especially with new rotors installed at the same time. Usually, one of the following components is used to PREVENT squeaky brakes: --brake pads with built-in shims to prevent vibration that causes squeaking. --brake pads with external shims (usually thin sheets of metal) between the pad and the rotor. --lubricant OR adhesive between the brake pads and the caliper to prevent vibration. Auto manufacturers specify what anti-squeak measure(s) should be used for brakes of specific vehicles. If whoever installed your brakes didn't follow the correct recommendation, that could be why they squeak. It's also possible, but less likely, that the wrong pads were used. You should take it back to the shop that did the work and ask them to do it correctly.
Why do my rear brakes squeak?
need new rear brake pads.
Why do brakes squeak?
if they screech for the most part it is a good indication you need new pads there is a metal indicator that when brake pads wear down will start scraping against the rotor now if you know the break pads are good or new screeching is common for the first few days if it continues it could be that you did not apply brake grease to the back of the pad where the pad meets the caliper if that's the case take them off and get a couple tubes of brakde grease (not that expensive) and put them on the back of the pads BUT DO NOT PUT THEM ON THE ACTUAL PAD WHERE IT WOULD CONTACT THE ROTOR that will make your brakes fail
Replace rear brakes on 2001 Monte Carlo?
The rear brakes on a 2001 Monte Carlo are replaced by removing the rear wheels, unbolting the calipers, and taking out the old brake pads. The new pads can then be installed and the brakes reassembled.
Why would the brakes squeak after new pads and rotors were installed on a 1999 buick regal?
If they have just been fitted, then it is natural at first to hear a slight squeal. This is because have a small glazed layer over them when new, in order to protect them during storage. If it doesnt go after about 500 miles, get them cleaned.
Why is your car making a grinding noise when you just changed your brakes?
Even if you have brand new or good brakes when the pads become hot from braking and then cooled very fast from water then the pads tend to crystalize creating the squeaking noise when you brake you just have to let them squeak it out
Should new rear brakes still squeak?

Why are the rear disc brakes locking up on a 2000 blazer just installed new brake pads?
There a number of possible reasons why rear Êdisc brakes are locking up on a 2000 blazer with new installed brake pads. This may be due to twist in the brake discs or low level of the brake fluid.Ê
When you apply brakes they make an squeeking sound what is causing this?
Typically disc brakes are known for being squeaky as opposed to drum brakes (although drum brakes can squeak, it's unusual) so I'll limit my answer to disc brakes. Disc brakes generally squeak for one of two reasons: Either they are resonating against the backplate of the caliper (a high-pitched vibration) or the brakes are so worn that the wear sensor is rubbing up against the disc and is making the noise. In the first case, when new brake pads are installed, there are a few ways that pad manufacturers deal with the potential for squeaky brakes: one is by using a gel that semi-hardens and is applied between the back of the brake pad and the caliper which acts as a dampener. Another way (and I'm sure there are more...) is to use a special metal or fiber intermediate shim between the brake pad and the caliper which also acts as a dampening device. If you brakes are squealing and driving you nuts and you just had them replaced - take them back to whomever replaced the pads and have them fix it - they probably left out the important device that prevents the squeak/squeal. If you are experiencing squeak without having recently replaced your brake pads: This is the other reason why your brake pads might squeak: nearly all disc brake pads have wear sensors. A wear sensor is a little tab of metal designed to squeal when the brakes are applied IF THEY ARE WORN OUT. If you brakes are squealing or squeaking, have them inspected.
Why do your brakes squeak on a 2002 dodge ram 1500?
Because You Need New Brakes!
Brakes were replaced on a 1997 ford explorer xlt all they do is squeak now they have been looked at twice by the person who put them in and another mechanic they cant find anything wrong whats wrong?
Needs Hi-temp brake pad grease on the back side of the pads. This should fix the problem if rotors are new or have been turned as well as new brake pads. Brakes squeak from a variety of causes. Is it a front or rear squeak? You may need to have the rotors turned or replaced if no one is able to turn them.
Why are my new brakes making a grinding noise?
Something is very wrong. Either defective brake pads or they were installed incorrectly. Have them inspected immediately.
