I am soo angry....a couple days ago...i replaced the break pads...which i must say is one of the easiest i have ever seen which made it really nice....anyways....i had an annoying squeak...i thought that was due to the breaks pretty much not being there..lol...anyways....a couple days ago....the squeak has come back....and it is annoying...and i have nooo clue as to what it could be...at first, i thought it might be because theyre not broken in...but....its coming from the same spot it did before?? :evil: any ideas???

I have the same prob. in my 83 supra I believe it has something to do with not enough pressure in the master brake cylinder to move it back and forth. I saw something on it on a post here but not sure as to where it is.

1) What shape are your rotors in? They could be glazed. Usually when doing a brake job, it's good to remove the glaze from the rotor before you put everything back together. Most guys have the rotors turned or have them "roughed up" to remove the glaze. Sometimes turning the rotors on a lathe isn't totally necessary though. Ask a brake shop.

2) The problem could be at your calipers themselves. Most brake places (and Kragen/Schucks parts stores) can sell you some stuff that goes on the back side of the pads (not on the side facing the rotor) that is supposed to stop squeaking from happening. Some pad mfg companies even provide you with a tube of it with the pads in the box.

Those are the two things I'd try if I were you.

I've used emery cloth on a sanding block to give the disc some bite. Just be sure the rotors arent warped or worn below the minimum thickness.

Does it squeak all the time? Only when you apply the brakes? Or does it go away when you hit the brakes? There is a good spray-on product I use that comes out looking like red paint that I paint the back sides of all pads when installing that gets rid of the squeeling, works better than the silicon stuff that comes with the new pads that you put on. I forget who makes it - comes in a blue spray can.
