Hi,

The front right brake keeps squealing/screeching everytime I apply the pedal. It's now been looked at by two main dealers with the brake pads checked and changed, caliper changed and now the brake discs with all being well lubed up. No one can seem to figure out what the problem is. Does anyone have any suggestions as it's starting to become quite annoying.

Thanks

What pads?

Had the same problem on mine if the discs and pads have plenty of life left in them just take the disc off and behind it they get rusty, all you need to do is grind the rust off and that should stop the squeal, the noise usually comes from the pad touching the rust when you brake hope this helps you I know how annoying it is.

Hi are you talking about rust on the back of the disc? There were two brand new discs put on the front two weeks ago.

Ferodo

If you have replaced the front discs and is still squeeking try checking the rear discs they suffer from the same problem.

Ferodo

Which ferodo pads. Be specific.

I’ve used ferodo ds2500’s for years on a daily driver and they did make noise and was somewhat easily modulated. But no matter what, they squealed.

However the 2500 is a mild track pad and is expected to make noise. They have a whole line of general consumer pads too. You need to state which pad you’re using.

from a grease perspective, yes moving parts should be lined with proper brake grease, but the pad to piston and pad to caliper connections should be using a sticky paste type brake compound or CRC’s red “disc brake quiet” compound. That stuff is essentially a glue and will prevent vibrations between the two surfaces.

Would recommend this: https://www.amazon.com/CRC-05016-Single-Brake-Quiet/dp/B000CINV88?th=1 like Mitch had said. I use this on every car I do brakes on and they never squeak or squeal. Stuff is cheap and works!

Ferodo FDB4416 they've been changed twice, noise still there it's like a high pitched squeal everytime I brake. When the first set was put on it was fine for about 2,000 miles so we changed them to see if that what the noise was to no avail
