Hey, just wondering if anyone knows what could cause relatively new brakes to be particularly squeaky?
I noticed they were squeaking a bit before which I took as a sign they needed to be replaced, and after checking them I decided to get them done, so I had all 4 corners done with brand new discs + pads, they are OEM from Coxmotorparts and fitted by a trusted local. I also had a major service done at TGM a couple of weeks after fitting, but I didn't mention it as I thought they were just wearing in.
Unfortunately, over 1000 miles later (with a fair bit of braking) the squeaking is still there and particularly bad just as I stop and very bad in the wet. Right now they are worse than before I replaced them. Although the stopping power is definitely there.
As far as I'm aware, the calipers haven't been touched in 70k miles / since 2001 so not sure if they could be playing a part?
Any recommendations? haven't had to mess with brakes at all on a car before.
