buctootim Posted 22 November, 2010 Share Posted 22 November, 2010 Can happen with new pads or discs taking a while to bed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deppo Posted 23 November, 2010 Share Posted 23 November, 2010 Maybe someone has been tampering with them? Have you upset anyone recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handyman Posted 30 December, 2010 Share Posted 30 December, 2010 All of that technical stuff comes down to this: The particular disc/pad combination resonates (vibrates) in the audible range. This is usually when braking gently, but not always. The tendency to fit the cheapest replacement parts sometimes results in those parts coming from different manufacturers and although a perfect fit, may not always be compatable ie, there are different materials used in discs and there are many different friction materials used in pads/shoes. If the overall braking is ok ie, the pedal pressure feels right for the amount of braking effort with no fade after extended use (going down long steep hills with a load) so that your only problem is squeal then you need to have some non metallic shims (made for the purpose) fitted behind the pads. This should take the resonance out of the audible range. Failing that, replace the discs and pads with a set of a decent brand ie, Ferodo, Mintex etc. Hope that might be of some help.
