99' Accord Brake Squeak - just replaced brakes, rotor and rotor again
I'm hoping someone has a good idea for this one. I've got a 99 Accord
Ex 4-cyl. I just replaced the front brakes and rotors less then 2 months ago. It's got 95k on it right now and noticed that shortly after replaceing the rotors and brakes that it started to squeak again. Squeaking only occurs at slow speeds at first and then a few weeks later, it was bad enough that it was audible at higher speeds and you could feel a pulsating in the brake pedal when braking. The left front rotor was obviously getting some hot spots on the outer half of the rotor. I decided to replace the rotor in hopes that it was some form of defect in the rotor, but less then a week later it's starting to squeak again. FYI, the pads slide easily so there shouldn't be any dragging. I could go out and replace the pads again, but I hate to start sinking money into something that may not fix the problem. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. |

These guys are right... you must install the anti-squeal hardware
correctly to eliminate your problem. Professor Check out FlashAlert at www.telstar-electronics.com |

Thanks for the suggestions all.
I am not using OEM pads/rotors. In this respect, does anyone know what type of pad the OEM pads are, maybe I've got the wrong type of pad? The anti-squeal shims are installed and I have used the anti-squeal gel to the back of the pads. I'm typically a pretty gentle braker. |

Haven't done the brake fluid flush yet, but it's due for it. I'll try
and give that a try this weekend. |
