Re: Loud Brakes! 200 85

/// Did you have the rotors turned? I found a site that has the terms definitions copyright statement credited to Bently. I didn't recoginze the author. It covered brake noise and suggested that squeal is high speed chatter from the rotors being incorrectly surfaced. Failure to polish the finished rotor leaves a groove like the old 33 1/3 albums. This attempts to move the pad in or out depending on the direction of travel.

Try fine sand paper in circular spot movement around the rotor to remove the fine thread.

Some where on that site there was the recommendation that rotors do not need turning unless grooves and ridges are higher/deeper than the space between FDR's head and the edge of a dime.

If there are grooves and ridges the noise may continue until the pads wear in and seat to the rotor.
