squealing brakes

hi fellas,

i recently completely redid my brakes with a deluxe kit from Zip-Products in Virginia. Its been about 4 months and the brakes work great, but they're still squealing really bad. The kit says it came with organic pads. Has anyone tried those anti-squeal products with any luck?

Thanks,

Brad

Some people use Disc Brake Quiet on the back of the disc pads before putting them in the caliper. Sometimes it helps.

I use it every time and have not had a problem. I even added the anti-squeak kit that you can buy. You can just place some cut tubing at the end of each brake pad to limit the movement of the pad.

Good luck,
Dino

I've had excellent luck with the anti-squeak stuff you put on the back of the pads. I do it every time I replace the pads on any car. No squealing...

try cleaning the rotors.....many times that will stop the squeal for a while...not trying to be a smarty...it does sometimes work.
