i just recently changed my front rotors and pads because my car was squeling when i would drive and stop only if i tapped the brakes. well the noise went away for about 2 months and has now returned i am in the process of changing the calipers now as i type or as soon as i quit typing. Do you think the calipers will be the fix to my problems or should i change the hoses for good measure? What else could be my problem? I believe it is the caliper not retracting completely and causing the squeling does that sound right? thanks my car appreciates it!

Try using this stuff called Disc Brake Quiet. It's an orange bottle that looks like an Elmer's woodglue bottle. You spread that on the back of the pads and it finally got rid of my squeal.

 

did your car squel when you put the brakes on or when you drove normal?
My car squels all the time and only stops when i apply the brakes. EVEN AFTER i put the new calipers on and brake lines the car still squels everywhere i go....
What could that be? bearings? help please. the squel is annoying i drive everywhere with my stereo turned up.

could it be the bearing i packed the grease into when i changed the rotors? sorry i am going crazy wondering what thi squel could be.

thanks for the suggestion. i fixed it. It ended up being a combination of my backing pad that caused the problems and using that stuff as described above that fixed it.
thanks
Shawn
