Re: Got some Squeal Coming From the Back Driver Brake.... (LowFlight)
I've had a similar problem with the rear brakes. Under moderate braking the left rear brake squeels. I've "fixed" it twice this year doing the following:
1) lightly de-glaze the pads by removing them and rubbing them for a fedw seconds on the garage floor.
2) bending the spring steel "anti-squeel" parts that fit between the caliper and pads.
The real solution is probably only one of those two steps, but I've been more interested in making the squealing stop than in scientifically determining the solution.
Next spring I'll get another set of pads all around. By the way, I'm using GM Ceramic from Fichtner.
