Default Re: Squeaky Brakes

HERE'S AN OLD THREAD!

I had new GM pads and rotors put on about 8-9,000 miles ago. They've squeaked since day 1. At first I thought...'Give it some time...they're just learning to play nice.' But it's been 8-9,000 miles...(sigh)...and still the same annoying squeak.

The only nuance that I've noticed with mine is that they only squeak at very low speeds...under 5-10 mph, like when creeping to a stop at a light. The squeak is ear piercing and only appears to occur on part of the rotation...sqeeeeeaaaaak...no squeak...squeeeeeaaak...no squeak...stop. I don't know if that really means anything or not.

I was in for an oil change and tire rotation last week and asked the tech to take a look. All they told me was, "the brakes and rotors look fine." LOL...I don't care how they 'look' I care how they 'sound.' They were really slammed that day so I figured I'd have them give it another look-see when I go in for my tranny flush next month.

I'm tempted to act on some of the feedback in this thread but thought I'd resurrect it first to get some other's input.

EDIT: I never had a single squeak that I remember with the original brakes and rotors... the ones that were on the truck when new.
