I've notice my front brakes (Brembo) are squealing when I come to a slow rolling stop. Friend of mine checked the pads & they were fine. I was thinking maybe the shims need to be replaced or something. Any suggestions?

 

Hi-perf pads sometimes do that on slow stops. But, you can try re-bedding them - that might help. Alternatively, you can take the pads out and apply some more Disc Brake Quite to the backs of the shims.

 

appreciate that......its a little embarrasing

 

welcome to owning a G with brembos. I love them but i hate them beacuse they are squeaky as hell. I've tried disc brake quiet and grinding down the surface of the pad to take off what i thought was a "glaze" on the pad ; still nothing changed. any thoughts?

 

Re-bed the brakes. It always works for me.

 

what do you mean? just take them out and put them back in? I did that with my fronts and it didnt do anything. thanks for the thoughts tho.

thats in informative link. however, how about re bedding used pads? same thing? i want to get rid of my brake squeal BAD.

 

yes....same thing.

 

Well it can only be vibration [squeel frequency] from pads or rotors............something has worn and or changed. Try disassembly and cleaning of calipers, pins, and antivibration shims with new lubricant [Nissan oem shim-grease].

Do an extremely light cut [few thousanths] on rotors to expose the metallurgy and rebed [transfer brake film] to rotor.

 

If all else fails, switch to ceramics.

 

Oem are ceramics inthat they have more non metal than metal %.
