Hey guys, i replaced my rotors and pads like 2 months ago to brembo drilled/slotted and regular pads i think and they have started squeeking. First its only after i drive after 20 min or so, then it is constant. Rescently they squeek even if i dont press down on my brakes. Like if i am driving slow and i turn my wheel 1/2 way to the right/left or more they squeek even though i am not pressing the brakes. What does this mean?
Yes i did a search but couldnt find anything.
Thanx

 

What pads? Some pads squeel more than others, especially metallic pads.

 

For it to continue squeaking even though you're not pressing the brake might indicate a frozen caliper. When this happenes, the piston in the caliper is not retracting so it sticks and constantly puts pressure on the pads which applies to the rotors and you get your squeak. Semi-metallic pads also squeak and if you didn't put brake quiet on the back of the pads it will squeak.

 

But this only happens after I drive for a while so does this still mean that the calliper is frozen, and even though it squeeks while I am not pressing the brake it does not have any force to stop the car, its just like a squeek, nothing more and only when i turn my wheel. Could this be because my rim is bent a little?

 

Well you have to identify what is actually squeaking. I don't have the car in front of me so I can't tell you if it's a frozen caliper. I'm just suggesting it might be that. What side is it squeaking from? Front or rear? How are th brakes? Is it a belt squealing? The alternator or power steering belt could squeal if they are lose and will do this when turning since they will put stress on the pulleys.

 

It is deffinitely brake related because it squeeks when I am not pressing the brake when I am doing like 5mph and my steering wheel is turned and not being turned. If i am not moving and turn the wheel, then it does not squeek. I am pretty sure it is coming from the front.

It also squeeks when I press the brake lightly and if i put more pressure on it, it stops squeeking.
