Brake squeal 140-160 1969

posted by  someone claiming to be Jack P. on  Tue Nov 17 17:41 CST 2009 [RELATED]

I got new brake pads all around and two new front discs. Now my brakes squeal as they come to a better stop. They didn't before. Is there anything I can do about the squeal? It sounds like it happens intermittently on all four wheels. Is there a simple fix for this or do I need to have the pads changed again?
Thanks.

All kinds of anti-squeal stuff available. Did you use the shims?

What did you use for pads?

Lots of people complain of squeal but I've never heard it. Maybe you're not driving hard enough.

A decent parts store will have a variety of products you apply to the rear (non-friction) side of the pads to reduce or eliminate squealing.
