Front brake squeal...drivin me NUTZ...
Regular EBC F29 sintered/organic pads. New pads, old pads, don't matter. All of the anti-squeak shims are in place both sides. New pads last week, even sprayed the backs(and shims) with "Anti Squeal/Disc Brake Quiet" stuff. Don't matter. Rotors do have minor groovage, but they are not rough. The only thing I have not done yet is to remove the slides from the caliper mount bracket and lube them....I dint have any brake lube at home. All bracketry and bolts are tight. Rotors are tight on the wheel.
WHF?!? The only time they do not make noise is if they are wet. It's like having a big rig drive next to you all the time with the brakes squealing....it's that dang loud. The rear brake has only made noise when the pads were down to the metal.
Should I use a different pad compound? I bought new front pads a couple weeks ago because I figured they were getting down to the metal, but when I changed them, the ones that were on it still have well over 1/2 of the material still on them...in fact, they looked barely used. Ideas?
Signed...lunatic in the making.....
