Hey guys,
My front brake pads are about 5000km old...when i am driving at any speed they squeal as if the pads are worn down to the pad wear indicators....as soon as i put any pressure on the brake pedal the squeal stops but reappears the moment i take pressure off the brake pedal.
i have checked the pads and they are not wornout.
It gets annoying to the point that i put my window up and turn the stereo up to drown out the squeal.
The pads are fitted correctly although this noise only started to appear after i cooked the brakes a couple of times ( they was alot of smoke coming off them and my discs were glowing- it was night time )
I'm thinking my options are to either just replace the pads or get the OEM rotors machined and fit a good set of pads or fit a new set of slotted rotors and quality pads.
What do you guys think?
