Re: why do brakes squeal? ALL 89

posted by  someone claiming to be Art Benstein on  Thu Aug 2 13:38 CST 2001 [RELATED]

To add emphasis to the truth Rob Kuhlman tells you about the ATE piston alignment, the factory manual is clear about this being the cause for rear brakes squealing. From personal experience -- it is. No shims, magic pads, grease or blue goo did as much as aligning the step in the piston with the rotation of the disk. Sounded like a school bus, now its quiet.
