[DML] Re: squeaking front brakes



The "standard" cure is to "break the glaze" on the rotors with some
sandpaper, roughen up the surface of the pads, install new anti-squeal
(damping) shims, use anti-squeal compound on the backside of the pads,
clean the pins and mounting hardware for the caliper. It could also be
that you do not have the correct brake pads. If the car is not used
often the brakes will squeak for a while when you do drive it. Another
possability is if you do a lot of hard braking and panic stops you
will glaze up the brakes. Refer to L:03:01 para 5.
