brake squeak no body knows how to fix, help needed
 

Going to try and give as much info as pos, fitted some tarox brakes and rally pads braided hose on the front. New standard disc pads and shoes on the back, this was done on the 23rd of April 2009. Refurbed my calipers with new seals and cleaned calipers up re painted, all fine and work well no noises from the off.

About 2 months ago ish the brakes started squeaking, but only when you dint aply the brakes. This only happend when the discs was warm, never from cold.
I.E i drive from home to go work, first time in the car so all cold. Drive down the road about a mile or so, using the brakes to slow as needed. Then i here a little squeak, this get louder as i use the brakes more. I get on the motorway and it's now proper loud, leave the motorway and drive 30-40moh still loud. Then if i stop for just five mins( go into a shop) then drive no squeak untill i use the brakes again.

Now i have fitted new disc pads and new refurbed calipers so all is brand new, these have been beded in and it's squeaks as above.

I have had the car in a garage to be checked today, they have rebled the brakes and can find no faults thing turn and run smooth. I told him to drive the car for a few miles and you will see what i mean. When he drives he can here the squeaking, so he left the engine running and put the car on ramps, checked the brakes and could not find anything wrong every thing turned and ran smooth.
One other thing is that after a few miles the car will stop on a slite hill with out touching the brakes say 5-10 mile drive, if all is cold the car will roll.
I'm picking some wheel bearings up tom from the steelers and havin them fitted tom, if the bearings dont fix this any ideas. Note the squeaking as now been going on for over a week on the new brakes, they have the anti squeaking shims and copper grease on the back of the pads.

Have you tried grinding the leading edge of the pads and copper grease on the metal backing plate that sometimes works

greased with copper as said above, no need to grind the leading edge as both have chamfered edges.

Cheers anyways.

Have the pads got a glazed face

Have you had the parking brake checked? Your comment that the car comes to a halt without applying the brakes suggests its worth checking. It will involve removing the rear calipers and discs.Failing that, are you satisfied that the calipers are not seized? Bob

pads are fine

Hand brake was checked today all is fine, calipers checked befor and after drive all is fine.

Strange is this as nobody knows

Silly suggestion, but have you checked to make sure the squeal bars on the pads aren't coming into contact with the discs? Took me ages to figure this out as it only did it a little on mine until it was warm.

Yes silly question but i wounder how many have done that, wish it was that simple mate but no i bend them back a tad. Got it booked in at an indi tom mate so all been well some thing will be picked up.

I have the exact same issue now! Soooooo annoying! Has anyone found a fix for this?

I have Ksport 356mm dics/pads, and brembo rears! All are new and have plently of life left...

Just like above it make a squeaking noise after the brakes are warm...

I had the car checked and there doesnt seem to be a problem with the pads/discs... All were cleaned sanded and greased... Like above the issue stopped for a day and started again! ;-(

Confued!! Please help...

Cheers,

It turned out to be my back brakes mate, they was stuck on a tad and when they got hot it was affecting the fronts to make them squeak.
Just started to make a very slight squeak again every now and again.
So when I can be arsed I will strip the rears down and clean and grease.
Hope this helps mate
