3 SIMPLE STEPS TO STOPPING BRAKE NOISE
- Remove pads and identify witness marks on pads that have been slightly moving in caliper. These marks will constantly be the cause of the squeal.
- Clean all contact points and lubricate with high temp grease. Re-tension spring clips or replace. The pad needs to be tight in the caliper; this will solve 80% of noise related come backs.
- If applying disc brake quiet or a silicone based product on the pad backing plates, allow product to become tacky in the caliper. Then apply brake 2-3 times in the stationary position and allow to dry. This squeezes glue around the bracket and piston, creating resistance for pad movement when brakes are applied.
No movements = no noise 100% of the time
