Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / March 2008405 Squealing Disc Brakes
M plate 405 estate with vented front disc brakes. I fitted new discs and pads about 6 months ago and they soon started squealing. I thought they would settle down after a while but they are still annoying me. Any suggestion of how to shut them up please? Tia Bob Hi Bob, When fitting new pads I always put a smear of copper grease on he back of each pad. This almost always cuts our break squeal.

This almost always cuts our break squeal. This seems to me a good solution if you dont want your brakes to have friction. Make them as greasy as possible.

Make them as greasy as possible. I presume reading is not one of your major skills? True there was one character missing in the reply but he did say BACK of the pad. > >> Hi Bob, > >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I presume reading is not one of your major skills?

I think after some time the grease will get all over the place. Personally I don't mind the brakes making some noise, this is "normal". Signatureregards, |\ /| | \/ |@rk \../ \/os I've been putting copper grease on the back of my brake pads for over 20 years now. Every time I've subsequently replaced a pad I've never seen the grease "all over the place". It does work, trust me. >>>> Hi Bob, >>>> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > place. > Personally I don't mind the brakes making some noise, this is "normal". We always use copper grease on all front pads, also on rear shoes aswell it stops them from making that noise,and yes it works. > We always use copper grease on all front pads, also on rear shoes > aswell it stops them from making that noise,and yes it works. And that nice Mr Haynes recommends it as well. SignatureKeith Willcocks (If you can't laugh at life, it ain't worth living!) To take in to account those of us with a lower-than-average IQ, I should have worded my reply to intimate that you should put the copper grease on the NON-friction side of the brake pad. Apologies ;) Linea Reta wrote: >> Hi Bob, >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > This seems to me a good solution if you dont want your brakes to have > friction.

I read somewhere that filing a small chamfer along the leading edge of the pads can cure squealing. SignatureKeith Willcocks (If you can't laugh at life, it ain't worth living!)
