Some disc pads have squeelers built in to warn you it's just about worn out before it starts to gouge the disc. Get one of the boys at your work to crawl under with a torch and see how much pad is left.

The front brakes on my car squeal when cold. Garage said it was the kind of pads that are fitted.

it is more when its cold, can you believe i forgot to mention it when i got the warrant, but as it got two new tyres fitted and balanced then sent off for a wheel alignment i would have presumed it was nothing to major anyway! it use to shoot off to one side at the back (which i did mention) when i went over a bump but it had a farked wheel, its all fixed now, maybe some just screech!

dragontales--Ok I'm gonna bite -most likely thjis is a pisstake thread but hey whaddevva If your brakes are squeaking the most likely reason is that the pads are worn out or nearly worn out.Without brakes the car wont stop but in all honesty the noise will have turned into a pretty darn loud fgrinding noise before that. Heres the good news-IF YOU TAKE YOUR CAR TO A MECHANIC. The mechanic will jack the car up and take a look at the pads for you. If theres nothing wrong except a bit of dust then itll only cost you about 10 minutes labour. If the pads are worn out then maybee an hour (tops) and a set of pads. -say $150.00 If you wait and it turns out to be worst case senario You might find you pay for a set of disks as well as pads -so as much as $500 This is one of those cases where it realy truely is better to be safe than sorry. If this really is a pisstake mehh well you got your bite

Or, apply some copper grease to the back of the pads. (in between pad and piston)

It may interest the so called knowledgeable people in here to know that the Silverline branded pad has been sourced from at least 3 different suppliers in the last 5 years and a couple of those suppliers are amongst the biggest disc pad manufacturers globally. They miss some features and benefits of the premium pads, but that??

i dont know what brand is on mine, and i bought them already on the car !

NO NO NO dont you ever for even a second concider it or have a mate of a mate concider it.--Do you really want your brakes lubricated! Now TOTALLY contradicting myself there is a product you paint onto the BACK of brake pads called copperkote which is a type of grease but its a special kind and only goes on the back and sparingly
