Brakes squealing is back

14th January 2013, 12:35

I had this with my last pads. Which the locking pin was fitted a bit dodgy on inspection. So i put it down to that.

But i have good discs and pads now, Mintex. They have been fine for about best part of a year but lately after 30 mins or so driving they start sqeualing in a straight line and also when turning right.

Soon as i pop the brakes on the squealing stops. Is this curable with a good jetwash and some more copper grease ?

Get the back end up and wheels off, the pin will be slightly corroded and dry, take it out and clean it up, replace with copper grease along with the edges of the pads where it slides on. should fix it
