Does it go away when you foot is on the pedal? or does it come and go when ever it likes?
New brake pads don't have asbestos in them like they used to, thus meaning that they put other stuff in them in place of the asbestos. The stuff they put in them seems to squeel more than the asbestos pads used to, but as a bonus the new types of pads with out the asbestos generally speaking emit less brake dust. On another side point though one of the brake pads in my car have got something in them which shouldnt be there because they have ground three rings into the disk itself! and they are now too deep to be able to machine them out. Also this makes my brakes squeel almost all the time! completely intermitently too i might add! So as a result i am doing a complete front brake upgrade, at a higher expense than just fitting new disks and pads but it was something i wanted to do since i bought the car anyway! |
