Got my front project mu nu pads installed and my front rotors resurfaced but now they squeak worse than before at low braking speeds. If I kinda hold the brake pedal when coming to a slow stop it makes a weird hollow sound or something. Anybody got any suggestions? Should I try using some anti squeal stuff ?

 

Just seems to be the nature of the PMU pads. Did you bed in the rotors/pads correctly?

 

I have the B-force pads, they SQUEEAAAAK! I wonder if I didn't stall the pads correctly here.

 

I'm sure you probably installed them correctly. The B-Force just seem to squeal more than others.

 

No I haven't yet but I will tonight. I just saw something wierd this morning while looking at my front pads.

1. driver side - 1 brake clip normal and other is not clipped in?
2. passenger side - 1 brake clip not clipped in and the other is missing.

Did the shop where I got my pads installed do a sloppy job?

 

Sounds like it. I wouldn't drive the car.

 

so what should I do ?

 

take the car back?

 

Contact the shop first and foremost. Then I would have it towed back there.

 

Looks like they did not install & bed the pads properly. Return it and have them fix the problem. And don't go back after they fix the problem. I have these same pads and never have any problems.

 

argggg thnx for the fast replies guys.

 

i installed b force pads myself with little squeaks during its life time.

i also bedded them in really good and completely wore them out in 6 track days. i've had no squeak problems with little dusting.

 

The squeaks are annoying but I am mainly just worried about the clips or maybe I'am just being paranoid.

 

You should be definitely worried if the clips are missing. You will have to bed the pads yourself as this is something a shop doesn't do normally.

 

sounds good

 

for peace of mind....always change my own brake pads.
those spring loaded clips are tricky to install correctly sometimes.

 

yea I need to learn sooner or later and brake pads should be the easiest thing to do.

 

it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes for each side if you got all the tools and brake cleaners ready. Takes longer if rotor replacement is involved. Nissan brakes are pretty straight forward unlike BMWs.

 

i had the B-force on my S13, they squeal, and its normal.

 

What does it mean to BED the break pads before you put them on?
