this is driving me nuts, started last week so assumed pads were low, so I went to see a guy I trust for standard replacement pads all round, he could only get TT pads but didn't think it would make any difference, all pads have now been replaced and it still bloody squeals, I'm pretty certain its the front drivers side doin it. Any ideas what the minimum disk thickness is on a 300N/A 1991/92, could the disks be too thin and so squealling. I noticed 1 or 2 cracks in the shims were the caliper pistons contact the pads- could this be the cause.

 

answers or comments on a post card please

 

 

 

as I said " it's driving me nuts" and doesn't sound good around town

 

 

thanks

 

Pete :( :cry:

i change dmy disc&pads and still the same squel but only under light braking if i press firmly there is no squel so i turn the stereo up a bit LOL

 

might be worth copper greasing the back of the pads,and edges make sure you dont get any on the fronts! or the disc itself :nono: :)

 

a tiny bit of brake dust can cause squel

 

mine seemed to quieten down after a real good thrashing with alot of breaking to remove the surface s*it of the pads as they were new

I put a file and some course sand paper around the outer circumference and edge of the disks to get rid of the rust and baked on brake dust then scuffed the pads with the sand paper, make sure the calipers are clean too! after all this I had no squeel
