Will it go away?

You tried greasing the back of the pads up with copper grease? I'd say go back to the place you got them done (cos you've paid for the job) and get them to grease the pads up and to also check the pads.

I've never had any squeel on the rear.... who knows, just go back to them to have a look - the last thing you want is incorrectly mounted or bad pads ruining your discs...

The backs did seem to have a fair amount on, its not so much of brake squeal, more like brake scream. Just wondered if everyone elses made a noise for a while or whether its just been done badly.

Drop mike_e a mail, I know first hand that his USED to squeal.

I had really bad break squeal when hot. Had the disks skimmed which lestened the squeal greatly but it was still there. Car went into Austecs again and asked them to sort it. They say they traced the squeal to excess paint on the (back of?)pads themselves (IIRC on mine the paint was bright green). They scraped/trimmed the excess and have bannished the squeal for good

From the man who use to deafen Al...

Last rear pad change produced tons of brake squeal, liberal dose of copper ease relieved the noise but not when the brakes were really hot.

Rear disks were quite badly ridged and beyond a surface skim, new rear disks and faced up pads cured the problem.

My pads are screaming too, and were done at Austec. Took them back but they are now even worse. Cant be arsed going all the way back as it is half a day off work to get sown there. Anyone know a garage in essex/north london that can sort it?
