The brake makes squeaking noise when it is cold.
Once the brake is warm up, the noise is gone.

Will putting more of the moly grease compound to the back of the pads help?


thanks!

 

i had this happen to me too, and i also though that it was the temperature drop that causes this. btw why u wanna put grase compound on the back of the pad?? i don't think it bother me since it only happen when i press on the brake for the first time in a cold morning.

 

The pads come with a pack of "moly" something grease. I think it it the squeezing compound. Will putting more of these squezzing compund thing help?

Thanks!

 

I thought the Moly is to help hold the shim on the pad while installing. I may be wrong. I don't see how it would help squeeze the brake pads any tighter to the rotor. Actually I dont' have any Moly on my pads at all and they perform great.

 

got the same problem..........is it normal or the rotor is wrapped??
btw how does a wrapped rotor looks like?

 

I went to the dealer because of the same problem and they said it was normal. A friend said it was because the stock brake pads are "high performance" brake and are for high temperature use? (He's not really credible)

 

^^^^

AAAhahaha!

anyway...

I talked to my trusty mechanic friend... He was fixing GM and BMW. He was sick of fixing GM and BMW. He moved on to fix Toyota for living for a while. And then he was sick of fixing Toyota. He moved on to fix buses. After a while, he was sick of fixing buses. He is now fixing Metro. (talking about climbing the corporate ladder...) later on he will be fixing the space shuttle or something even bigger for sure...


He told me if I want no noise at all, I should use something "soft"... like... "soft" rotor and "soft" brake pad. But "soft" rotor and brake pad would wear out very fast he said.

An example of "soft" rotor and pad would be the one used in a BMW he said.

"hard" rotor and pad didn't stop as good as "soft" rotor and pad but "hard" rotor/pad did last much longer he said.


I have no idea where to get a "soft" rotor or pad though. Any idea?

 

it probably deals with the materials used in making of the pads or rotors

 

LOL....... Read the other brake threads before you do something stupid.
