Re: IML: Brake Squeal

["Frederick Joslin" <fljoslin@xxxxxxxx>]

I replaced the front brakes for the first time on my 99 Intrepid last year. I went with the best pads that NAPA had below the ceramic ones and replaced the rotors. Horrible squeal right after assembly. The squeal did not go away with driving. I disassembled the brakes and applied an anti squeal goo liberally on the back of the pads. The squeal went away, but returns when the brakes are hot.

I figure that it has to do with the pad friction characteristics and a resonant frequency of the pads or some other part of the brakes. I don't like the sound, but know the brakes are good.

 

Can you try an anti squeal compound or different shoes. How about some of the liquid electrical tape stuff on parts of springs where you can use it to deaden resonance? I do not think the silicone fluid has any thing to go with it. 

 

Good luck.
