Gareth 0 Posted October 4, 2004 i fitted new standard disc's and some Pagid brake pads to my G60 and (after the 200mile light braking period) there was squeeking coming from the brakes wen braking .... i have read bout this B4 and so i did a search and tryed the things people suggested .... but the problem is still there... durring the search sum1 mentioned that his m8 had the same prob and they ground the lip off the side/edge of the disc's and this solved the problem, does this sound possible?? could it be the Calipers??... old and warn guide's prehaps.... im just at a loss as 2 what it could be and it can be quite embarrassing wen ppl turn n look, because of a horrible noise. ohh forgot to mention that it only happens wen in town .... (slow, light braking) im happy with the performance of the pads just not the noise. thanx for help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 4, 2004 Did you clean the guides and use copper grease on them and the backing of the pads??? Take them off again, check the rubber seals round the pistons and re-grease, If the pads are shiney then sand them down slightly and go thru the bedding in process again...
