From the limited mileage I have done since apply the copper grease it would appear that the ammount of squealling has been significantly reduced. There is still a slight noise a certain brake pressures but this sounds like it could be coming from the rear OS. I will try the same trick on the rear brakes.

I find brake squeal occurs for two reason...
1...metal to metal contact 2...brake dust between pads and discs First is resolved by placing copper grease where ever there is metal contact between the pads and the caliper I.e. Where the pads hook rides along the caliper when the brake is squeezed.... The second occurs when after Market brake pads are used because brake dust builds up in the caliper and causes a squelling noise...for some oem brake pads don't cause the dust to build up so much therefore not causing such a build up. So to resolve this issue either use oem pads or when changing pads...clean the inside of the caliper thoroughly....I did this last time by using some emery pad on the end of a dremel...this got rid of the the black dust that build up on the caliper and it also mean the pads line up better in the caliper. Finally the self adhesive is used cos on the stock brakes it is a real mare trying To work out how the pads on the outside of the caliper stay in place t funny little clips at the stop....I just used a little bit of glue....mind not sure the adhesive work that well as the caliper must get prettty hot which must make the adhesive pretty much ineffective.... |
