    bearings would squeak all the time, nto just when braking..

    hawk pads are renowned for their squeakiness.. live with it hehe.

    Well, I don't have the tools or knowledge to take out my pads, any suggestions as to how I can quiet them down? Re-bed them?

    LOUD brake squeeking during slow stops

    Hi, my 95DX with Brembo blanks and Hawk HPS pads has been acting weird lately. I put them on 10,000 miles ago, and they have been getting very noisy during routine traffic stops. Such as, when I come to a light, going 30MPH, if I was to lightly tap the brakes, it would squeek. But, if I was to press the brakes firmly, the squeeking would go away immeidately. Also, I've noticed that when I am accelerating slowly, like 0-20MPH from a light, I get this continuous squeek from the right side of the car. But it is not a ssssssssss kind of sound, more like ss ss ss, as if there is something on my rotor, and squeeking every time it turns 360. Furthermore, I've noticed that I take slow right hand turns, I get the squeek, even when I am going straight sometimes, but if I was to lighty turn the wheel to the left, it will disappear, but come back after the car has straightened out. I don't think my pads are wearing out, since they're only 10,000 miles old, and I had them looked at only 2,000 miles ago. Any ideas? Could it be that some mechanic tightened my wheels too much, and my rotor is too close/rubbing against my pads? Thanks fo the help

    no, the noise is probably normal.. you could scrub your brake pads with some heavy grit paper, and put em back on..

    I'm confused, but would the brakes squeek when I am moving slowly? Let's say I'm driving around at 20MPH, without breaking, it would squeek....could it be wheel bearings? Heard they squeek when old.
