ceramic pads

[Chris Joyce]

I just put ceramic pads on my truck last friday, now they squeak! Is this common?

 

[Dingo]

Yes, if not broken in properly.

Mine did not make a sound but I replace the rotors and applied anti-squeak paste on the pads when I did the job.



Did you have the rotors resurfaced at least?

Mine squeeked for a few weeks. After a while, it went a way

if i'm not mistaken isn't there a way to seat the pads in so they don't squeck.i know when i did my brakes on my ss.on the box they told me to do 2 to 3 easy stops from 20 mph.and 2 to 3 hard stops from 30 mph.

I always use the stop squeak gel they sell when you buy new brakes and i have never had the squeak. Go buy the gel pull the pads out and put it on. It is embarrasing to have other people listen to that coming from a nice looking vehicle..

Also get the caliper grease and lube the slides and any moving metel to metel contact point.
