New brake pads may occasionally squeak due to dust, moisture, or the bedding-in process, but they shouldn't produce persistent or loud noises. If the squeaking continues, it could indicate issues such as improper installation, lack of lubrication on the backing plate, or low-quality pads. It's advisable to have them checked by a professional to ensure safety and proper functioning. Regular maintenance is key to avoiding such issues.

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 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

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.
