brakes squealing

Hotshot 4 May 2005 22:27:37
 After having a brake job done, my breaks were still squealing. The
mechanic rechecked the job and buffed the pads. Upon hearing the same
sound again, I asked him to check the rotors. He turned the rotors. Then
he changed the pads to ones he said were specifically made for my car. A
month later I am hearing the same sound again. I have a 1999 Maxima. Is
there anything else on my car that would cause the same noise?

 Did you use Nissan or after market pads ?

 I had the same problem after a recent brake job. I used after market pads
and did not take a great deal of time with the job. Big mistake. They made
so much noise my wife griped every day.

I ended up doing the job over again using Raybestos ceramic pads and
anti-squeal compound to bond the pads to the caliper. I took the time to
remove all the clips on which the pads ride and clean them thoroughly. I
also had each of the rotors turned. I then used brake grease on each of the
points on the clips where the pads rested. No more noise and I got my car
back from my wife...

Good luck.

I have a 95 SE (I don't think brakes are any different through '99) and
have never had any squeal problems, but always use Nissan pads, and
usually change them myself. I never turned the rotors, but did replace
them at about 90k miles, because rust in the center was no longer
dissipating heat as well and they were getting heat checked (little
cracks) from high speed autocross.

I wonder if they put on the sheet metal backing plates from the old pads
(which probably act like shims to reduce squeal), and the little Y clips
that probably stop the pads from dragging.
