Hey everyone,

so i replaced my front brakes (pads + rotors). I then followed the bed-in procedure outlined in the 4th gen howto. However, now I'm getting a high pitched sound coming from my left wheel (even when I'm not braking). The sound is constant and only stops when I'm completely stopped. It is present when I'm pressing on the brake, and as soon as I start moving from a stop it starts up again. What did I do wrong?

Thanks

 

did you put the brake lube stuff on the back of the pads? If you bought cheap brake parts you will get squeaks. My squeaking went away after driving it a bit. If it doesnt go away i'd suggest a new shim hardware kit.

 

i dont have shims, I guess thats bad?

 

I got nissan pads, brembo rotors. my shims were in pretty bad shape, so i replaced the clips/shims w/ new nissan hardware kit.

 

I don't think you should've done the bed-in procedure right away. I normally do it after takin it easy on the brakes the first 1000 miles but I could be wrong?

 

Ooops if that is so, what should i do now?
