Brake squeak when coming to a stop at very low speed

motherkin · 12-21-2015, 02:48 AM

Hi fellows,
My car's brake(not sure front or rear) has recently developed a squeak ONLY when slowing down to a complete stop(ie. <2mph) with light braking. No noise when I brake hard at high or low speed, and no noticeable degradation of brake power.
My rotors and pads are OEM with 30k miles, with plenty of pad thickness left.

This squeak comes and goes, and seems to happen more when its cold. Any ideas? Please help!

Thanks!

You have to resurfacing the rotors and pads in order to eliminate the squeak noise. Remember to add high temp brake pastes as well.

I did try and all the squeaks gone. I'm using Hawk ceramic pads.

GL!

Ack. That sounds like a terrible idea.

Mine was the sensors. Shorted them out and removed them and have no more squeaks.
