squeaking breaks, please help 850

posted by  someone claiming to be driven on  Sat Jul 19 14:50 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Usually, noisy brakes are caused by vibrating pads. Volvo pads have "rubber" backing to help dampen vibrations. But if the caliper is rusty and or its mating surface is uneven then the pads will vibrate. Check the caliper for any misaligment and clean it if necessary.
BTw, I think that Brembo rotors and Volvo pads should not be noisy and I don't see any reason going to OEM rotors. Rotors do not squeal, pads do.
Good luck.
