Well, I bought the car in 90 degree weather, and it has squeaked and squealed ever sense? It has eventually squealed even after the new rears and fronts were completely replaced. I jacked the car up last weekend, reset the rear adjusters down to the bottom, so absolutely no drag on the rears, then pulled off the front pads, inspected for cracks, grooves and uneven wear, cleaned with brake cleaner, nothing looked bad? reapplied SuperLube Teflon grease to wear spots, bled all 4 brakes, and reassembled. The noise was slightly quieter, but still there for 2-3 stops? It sounds terrible for a mostly newer car!!! The front pads are ceramic Wagner brand, I have new Centric PosiQuiet pads on order. I am thinking about using different lube on the wear spots, maybe silicone paste. Just not sure if this might be a caliper issue, or worse, ABS problems? It definitely doesn’t seem normal, even though the grinding goes away after 2-3 complete stops. Thanks for your comments!
