Squealing BrakesBrake squeal is caused by one thing and one thing only. The pads themselves are vibrating within the caliper brackets when you apply the brakes. This is a very common occurence and the # 1 cause of returns for brake jobs.To stop brake squeal, use a product called Permatex Disc Brake Quiet. You Spray it on the back side of the brakes to dampen the vibration between the disc and the pad when the brakes are lightly applied. If your brakes only squeal at light lever pressures this should solve your problem. Many brake pads now come with a gasket glued to the back side that eliminates the vibration, thus the noise, or with a metal shim that fits on the back of the pad. If your original pads had a shim, you should use it with your replacement pads. If you use a metal shim, don't use the spray.
