    Very squeaky brakes

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Took new brakes to my shop for install and the guy goes “your brakes are fine and don’t need replacement” based on his visual inspection.

    But they squeak at low speeds. Any tips on what I can do to reduce noise without having to remove components?

    Would spraying down with brake cleaner do anything ?

    Generally can fix noisy brakes by following these steps....
    - rough up the brake rotors with a red scotchbrite pad
    - very lightly sand the face of the pads to get a clean surface and also file a slight chamfer into the leading edge of the pad surface
    - properly bed them in

    Generally these steps will fix most pad squeeks and slight vibration at the pedal.
    Cheers
