DAMN BRAKE SQUEAL!!!! vent...HELP?!?
Ok well, I have the GS6 pads with cross drilled/slotted rotors and the rear brake squeal is driving me insane.
The primary reason for upgrading was to reduce or eliminate the noise, but it has only gotten worse.
It occurs once the brakes get warmed up and seems to get worse the colder it is outside.
Most of the noise comes from my passenger side rear, and it is deafening.
I mean the noise startles pedestrians...it's that bad....
At first I thought it may have been a defect in the rear pads so I had them replaced, but the noise came back.
I have tried bedding them on several occasions to the point of failure, but that only seems to help for about a day or two.
Can someone explain or illustrate what the shims are?
Are they the metal backing plate built into the back of my pads?
Will removing these help?
Should I try the Zeck brake pads? Can it be the caliper or rotor?????
All suggestions are welcome....
