brakes, squeel/squeeks but no shuddering

[niko]

how do i stop squeeks and noises? its weird that it doesnt shake my steering wheel wen braking lighlty or heavily

anyone got any ideas?

[need psi]

is it front or rear? the brakes are just glazed, go to super crap by some brake cleaner and some emmery sand paper and sand the crap out of your discs, you should really take off the pads before doing this but you done have to, get rid of all the shine on your discs and then spray with the brake cleaner and wipe down with a clean rag. you can also scrape the pads if you want just dont spray them, just blow all the crap off them. when braking the first couple of times take it easy and dont slam the brakes on let them bed in again.

ahhh cheers man

[need psi]

no worries champ.

[niko]

its just so annoying and ironic, my brakes also feel better now that my cars dumped, i love it

[need psi]

yeah i noticed a difference when i slammed mine, felt more responsive when braking, got any pics of the car, i posted in the for sale section too.

did you do what he told you niko? did it work? coz ive got the exact same problem with my 2 fronts....makes a decent looking car sound so cheap when they squeal like that! mine only do it at low/stopping speeds

[niko]

ye i talked to my mechanic about it, and he said its from heavy braking, from the brakes heating up glazing them. i was like ok im walking away now.

[Dez]

i think its only my fronts as well, but still....takin off all the wheel nuts with a tyre iron, jackin it up down etc...pain in the ****.....thats why paintin my calipers took so long

all ive got is the jack that comes with the car...i doubt it'd be made to take the weight of the whole front end.... and would prolly be impossible to wind on my car anyway...to low, wouldnt be able to turn the handle

fuk that, those scissor jacks are dangerous as.... even a supercheap jack would be better (although i'd definately use decent axle stands with that option lol)

[Dez]

yeah but this is basically just the 1 in the boot (thats called a scissor jack?)

but yeah...maybe ill get 1 for my next car to make wheel related mods easier.
