i put new brake pads on my car about 2-3 months ago and they started squeeking. i dont know why. anybody know whats wrong?

 

Are they squeeking while driving or when braking?

 

braking mostly

 

As long as they are still good it may just be some brake dust build up. Hose them off and see if that cures it.

Sometimes cheapo pads will cause this also. When it comes to braking components, buy the best stuff you can.

 

thanks alot man

 

could dirt or mud cause brakes to squeak? because i also just got new pads and rotors and after i took it offroading the next day it seemed to squeak...but hasnt done it since

 

any impurities between the pad and rotor can cause squeaking. if you hit a big puddle, you can get squeaks. i have ceramic pads installed because i was sick of the bs cheap pads i was getting that kept screeching. the upgraded pads were all of $20 more per side and they bring my truck to a halt when i slam on them like i did today. Thank you woman who stopped her 2010 Tahoe on a main road in a 50 for no reason. i hit them so hard my ABS was having a hard time stopping me

 

I am sure she had a good reason.

Phone ringing, eyeliner needed touching up, yard sale, dropped her vodka.

 

i'm going to have to say #1 or #2. i'm going to refrain from describing her anymore than it was a 40 grand truck in mid day, her clothes were worth about 10 grand, and she was not blonde. i don't judge people until they do stupid crap like this
