Default Brakes A Squeakin

Changed pads and rotors. Ever since high pitch squeal on medium to high brake pressure from what sounds like three of the four. Can any adjustments be made or other recommendation.

what kind of pads did you use? if you used some kind of semi-metallic lifetime warranty pads, that is more than likely your problem. i replaced the rear pads on my '98 with some of them and turned the rotors and they squealed just the way you explained yours. i took them off after 2 weeks(yesterday) and replaced them with heavy duty titanium pads and they are as quiet as can be. this may not work for you but it solved my squealing problem. good luck!

Did you put anti-squeak on the backs of the pads? I use the Permatex spray on stuff (be sure you don't get it on the pads!) and that usually works.

But often, with semi-metallic pads, they squeak no matter what. If that's what you used, get some earplugs. :yesnod: :lol:

I have the KFP Magnum Pads front and back and yes they are semi-metallic. If I don't like these (and I don't so far) what's a good low-dust, no squeak pad. :rolleyes:
