Squeeking pads are caused by a vibration between the pad backing plate, the acoustic tuned to pad shims, and the caliper pistons.
The rub is the acoustic shims are tuned to match oem pads.........aftermarket pad manufacturers by or make a close fascimile of the oem backing plate and mount their generic compound on the backing plate. Acoustic testing is expensive and skipped, actual their one size fits all compounds are only test IF they are good enough to be sold to an oem vehicle manufacturer.
Since price is no object [in the 500,000 piece lots to oem] all pads alvailable in the world are priced the same to get a big contract.
Wouldn't it be great to get the test data of all the companies pads supplied to Nissan and the multidozens of pages for each company of the reasons for REJECTION............reguest for samples, oem tests, rejection of dozens of companies.
"Not dusty enough, too quiet, last forever, strongest highest quality on earth, stops in too short of a distance, doesn't warp rotors enough"
