my brakes squeek so bad, i dont know what the problem is. and it is not like a regular squeeeeeeekk...its like metal dragging against metal when i hit the brakes. especially under 20 miles per hour. does anyone know what the problem might be

 

no help guys?

 

Are your brake pads almost running out? I'd check that out. Most brake pads will have a wear sensor on it so that when the pad gets to minimum levels, the little metal tab will scrape against your rotor and give an audible screeching to warn you to change your pads before it's too late and you screw up your rotors.

 

my pads were just changed, but its not an oem pad i think they are called warner

 

did you do it yourself or you had a mechanic do it? Possibly they didnt put any anti squeal?

 

Other than factory pads most after market pads have
a process for breaking them in. If you didn't install
them go back to where you paid to have the work
done.....let them know the squeeking is driving you
nuts!

 

i did they told me that they needed to break in but its been about 1000 miles and its still the same a annoying skreech.......

 

theres a little tab on the bottom left side that goes into a slot
check that
mine were replaced and that what cuased them to squeek

 

join the club of bad infiniti brake pads... its common


go aftermarket

 

he did
i say take it back to where you have it installed.

 

What kind of pads were they? There are specific compounds that do not work well with the rotors on these cars as they build too much heat too quickly and will not disperse that heat properly, and begin to immediately harden and crystallize.

Were they kevlar based? Full metallic? Hi performance? Pep Boys specials? Part number and manufacturer?

I have started to hear a squeak when I am braking under 20mph as well. I looked at the pads and there is about 3mm left and the "brake" light has not come on yet. Should it be squeaking? I have 25k miles right now on stock brembo pads.

 

Sounds about right...

 

The "brake" light will only come on if your fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir gets too low. And 2mm is the min level for your brake pad so your pad wear sensor is probably hitting your rotor now telling you it's time to change the pads.

 

they probably didnt put your old shims back on the new pads...im sure this will solve it...
