Question

On my last set of o/e front pads they started to squeal whilst pressure was applied to the pedal. They would even squeak and squeal even when no pressure was applied. The pads were only half worn.

Applying copper grease had no effect.

When they had worn out they were replaced with Pagids which were fine until now.

Now they are sqealing too, again even when no pressure is applied. This usually happens once the brakes are warmed up and is especially noticeable in slow moving traffic (and embarrassing!)

What can I do to stop this!!!! It's driving me mad!

Phil
