Squealing break
I installed front axxis metal master break pads with resurfaced rotors about 3k miles ago, and front breaks started to squeal. I think there's nothing wrong with break performance but when I break hard, they make a lot of noise during 15~0mph. Does anyone know what the problem is??
Thanks

If you didn't replace the shims at the time the pads were replaced, and/or if you didn't put some anti-squeal compound on the backside of the pads, then it is quite common for brakes to squeal when pressure is applied.

same thing with me....my installer did replace the shims and they squeal now, but its only if i brake very light...like rolling to a stop, parking lot driving, etc..
