I have a 04 dodge ram 1500 3.7 5 speed 2wd truck with 30,000 miles on it, I changed the brakes and had the rotors resurfaced, Witch all looked like new anyways, reason for changing them is when i apply my brakes it squeals when i press them harder it stops, I put new Akebono Ultra Premium Ceramic Pads 79.99$ at advanced auto, And IT STILL F*CKING SQUEALS what can I do to stop that **** it's so annoying!!!! Please help.

i buy semi-metallic and never had noise problems. Only when I tried to go to something better "performance" pad. plus ceramic will wear the rotors faster. I rather spend $50 on a set of pads than $50 each for rotors

 

[bigtigga84]

There is grease for the back of the pads to stop it from squealing

I had RAYBESTOS PROFESSIONAL GRADE SEMI-METALLIC PADS nothing but brake dust and noise, So I switched to a better brand, No matter what I do this little squeal will not leave

Yes it came with the pads I applied to the back of them still no help!!

I have wagner thermo quiets on the front. Haven't changed the rears since I got my truck, but I asked the same thing about a week ago and was told about the grease

 

[kust3mz]

I also cleaned the hell out of the rotors after I had them resurfaced still no help

[LB3711]

i never used the grease. Only place i used grease is on the guide pins to make sure they move and also make sure the pads float free wher they sit. I had pads rust in place and seize on my ranger I had.

 

[bigtigga84]

I haven't messed with it yet, just relaying what I was told. The wagner on the front don't make any noise at all. I will probably end up changing the rears soon just because I want better pads

 

[kust3mz]

I don't no what to do with em

 

[bigtigga84]

I dunno man, turn the radio up lol. Its irrititating, believe me I know

 

[kust3mz]

Sounds like thats what i have to do lol

What friction material was on the pads before you went to ceramic?

 

[kust3mz]

Semi-metallic pads

 

[adamwilkes14]

Might try getting some brake pad shims...sometimes they dont get reused when someone does the brakes...

You need new rotors , the previous owner was a d-bag . at 30k you should have not had to turn your rotors . = they are fukked up beyond repair .

That all depends...most brake shops will turn them to "true" them reguardless of mileage...if they checked them for runout and found even a small bit of runout they would have turned them.

BUT...they should have turned a special surface deal on them too, that helps break in the pads...and to be totally honest, ceramic pads can be noisier than some pads, its just how they are.

 

[adamwilkes14]

Another deal, you know you CANNOT get rotors turned in my area? All the shops stopped doing it...Advance use to do it for $15 a rotor, but they stopped. The only ones that do it is places like Midas, and they have to be the one doing the whole brake job.
