Hi, guys.
After I swapped front brake pads to Axxis Luxirious brake pads and painted my brake calipers(front and back), my car keep making squealing sound.
Funny thing is it only comes from rear left side.
I talked with Technician who told me it will go away once I hit the brake real hard couple of time.
I did that.
But it does not go away.
Rear pads are fine.
Rotors are fine.
It didn't make any noise before the painting the caliper.
I searched couple of forum to find out what is the problem.
But I guess my problem is unique one.
Since I didn't change the rear brake pads, it should not make squealing sound.
Guys. I need your help.
Thanks.

 

is it just a light squealing noise or an all out metal to metal holy crap if it wears anymore your grinding on the piston noise. If it's the latter, change your brake pads if not there is some stuff at autozone called no squeak or something like that it shuts it up for a while. If that doesn't work do some crazy style 100-0 Braking that will wear the squeakiness out. But I mean you have to really get on the brakes. If that doesn't work you could always buy a new car!!

 

well..it is light squealing sound. it only happens when I gently hit the brake. Once you put more force on brake pedal, it is gone.

 

are they new brake pads.. cause sometimes new pads will tend to squeal for a couple hundred miles, and will eventually go away.. i wouldnt recommend slamming on your breaks.. thats a good way to create heat spots on your brakes.. dont know why a technician will tell you this

 

i have the same problem. and the pads are new.. TRD pads.

it goes away when i hit the brakes hard, but it squeals when i slowly come to a stop. and it doesnt happen ALL the time. different times of the day so the weather has nothing to do with it i suppose.

you hit the brakes hard for the bed in process when you first get them. but you never come to a complete stop..

your suppose to be easy on them.. so they break in right.. slamming on the brakes is gonna damage your rotors

 

Yes you all are right. I forgot about the break in process. Wait a couple hundred miles see if they stop. Mine do that too but I'm still on stock pads so idk?

 

well...the squealing sound comes from rear rightside, which has stock pads.
Front pads are new and axxis luxirious break pads.
And rear pads are stock ones.
and..i do not hear any sound from front, but I hear squealing sound from the rear!
I have been hearing this sound for over 600 miles since the mod that I listed above.
Technician told me the reason is that maybe either the surface of rotor or pads is glazing or something. I have no clue about that.
Before mod, it didn't make any noise. But after changing front pads and painted calipers and now it does.
I have no fxxx clue.
I need auto guru to help me with this.
It is really annoying

 

It could possibly be that the rears need to be changed out also did you check to see how much pad you had left in the rears. Oh and you can rule out the changing of the front pad. FYI for the future I highly reccomend putting new brake pads all around. You don't want to know about the possible handling nightmare at high speeds when your front brakes brake so much better than your rears. I think that creates snap oversteer if im not mistaken Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

 

After few months, the squeaking sound is gone. Not absolutely gone but noticeably gone. I guess time heals my brake thing. But!!!! Now I hear metal bending sound from the same spot! it sounds like metal frame is bending or something. I researched through all the forum and found out that rear sway bar needs to be regreased or something. do you guys have this kind of experience before and fixed it already?
