Re: Chirping sound and more

When replacing brake pads you should use 80# grit pads mounted in a 
drill and scuff the surfaces of the rotor. This is necessary to allow 
the new pads to "break in" and also condition the surface of the 
rotors. It exposes fresh cast iron to the pads. It also removes any 
tendency to "threading" that is the tendency for the pads to move up 
and down like a record player needle following a track. If this 
doesn't help there are tubes of anti-squeal compound that can be 
applied to the backs of the pads. Make sure that there is nothing 
loose or caught up like a spring or clip that could be rubbing, and 
that the E-brake pads aren't dragging. Where did you get the pads? The 
only way to be sure you have the correct pads is if you got them from 
a "D" vender. This is a case where just because they physicaly fit 
doesn't mean they are correct. Different pads are compounded for 
different cars and you cannot tell by looking at them. Sometimes pads 
come with a plastic shim attached on the metal backing plate. The 
point here is if you got them localy and they used a cross-over in 
many cases it is just a matter that they fit but may not really be 
correct.
