I just put on new Raybestos rotors and Brute Stop pads. Sadly after braking a few times they starting squeeking. Is this normal and will it work itself out?

 

i'm not sure what brute stop pads are, but it can be normal for pads to squeak a little before they wear in.

I've also seen a many times that cheap pads will just plain squeak no matter what. Like i said i dont know how brute stop ranks on quality though.

But there's quite a few things that can cause brake squeak; which makes the standard brake job much more complicated than most folks thing. To ensure you got squeak free braking, always do the following.

1. Be sure you installed the retaining clip on the back of the inbound brake pad. This is probably the number 1 cause of squeaks when amatuers do a brake job. It can also cause VERY irregular pad wear.

2. Always use anti-squeak spray or glue on the back of the pads. The back of the pad rubbing on the caliper can and does cause squeaks. Any professional mechanic ALWAYS applies "no squeak".

3. Use quality parts. Like i said before, cheap pads can and do squeak.

4. Remove the mounting pins, and the pin bushings. Lightly sand any rust from them; ensure they're smooth. Lube the bushings with silicone or synthetic grease (manufactures say not to use petrolium based grease on them, not sure why). Reinstall them, make sure the caliper floats easily.

5. Theres a tapered part to the caliper, it's where the tabs on the pads ride on. I'm not sure there's a technical name for it. Take a file to it and make sure it's fairly smooth.

If you do all these, i'd guarantee you wont have any problems with squeaks from the brakes.
