I have an 03 5AT with stock breaks. Sometimes when I stop they squeak, Is this normal or do I need new pads?

 

anyone?

 

maybe people don't know WTF you are talking about b/c it is spelled S Q U EA K I N G

 

lol my bad

 

A few suggestions. First, "Skweaking" isn't a word. You're likely to get more responses if you use the correct forms.

Second, even if you used the correct form, a thread titled "Squeaking" isn't likely to attract more attention. Try to use a more descriptive thread title.

Third - it's brakes.

If you'd like, I can edit the thread title for you.

 

there's a TSB for this issue i believe.

 

LOL at least I spelled squeaking correctly in the description. And yes, please change the title.

 

Squeaking, groan, and moan are the same thing, a sound made by pad vibration just a different frequency..........stick then slip then stick from different materials in the pad composition, each of which has a different friction vs speed vs temperature characteristic.

That is the secret of pads chemically combing 50 or so components to create what you want to achieve.

Measure the frequency and distribution of the squeel and you can determine whether it is primarily cause by pads or rotor:

Flexing of pad itself, or it's mount, or clips, or the internal design of rotor.

I was looking for this information. My problem is when I am moving forward, but the remedy should be same. Thank you very much.

 

If you car still maitains a warranty, take it into the dealership. My brother just had his rotors and pads replaced free of charge via warranty work. This maybe the case with you, as well. Good luck!
