Anti-Squeal Compond Application for brake pads S70

posted by  someone claiming to be Ceenit on  Tue Mar 16 06:25 CST 2004 [RELATED]

My Volvo has been driving me nuts with squealing brakes...I understand and have seen numerous posts about how common this is when using non-Volvo pads.

Well I bit the bullet and bought a new Volvo pads/shims and new Zimmerman rotors. I also purchased CRC-Anti-squeal compound just to be absolutely sure that I leave nothing to chance after this brake job.

Question - Does the Anti-squeal compound go on both sides of the shims (ie facing the pad and facing the caliper) or should it just go on one side? Any issues if I put it on both sides as an extra anti-squeal precaution?

Thanks

    apply compound to back of brake pads and both sides of shims, let set 10 min and install brake pads. Also don't forget to apply high temp silicone grease to areas of the caliper that touch the metal side ends of the pads.

      When I used the CRC compound it seemed to not dry much in the 10 min., as directions state, so I let it sit overnight before I put pressure on the brakes.

      You may want to test some on a piece of cardboard and see if yours drys faster than mine did.

      so far, no sqeaks.
