Having fitted new pads within the last month I have noticed a lot more brake dust about. This is causing brakes to squeak and generally irritate me. Has anyone else found this too?

I've been quiet because I have been away on holiday. I'm still having problems with a noisy braking system. I removed the pads and cleaned the pads, calliper and disc. This sorted the problem for a short time but the noise has now returned again. It seems strange that the squeaking occurs when turning the steering wheel to the right when driving (although turning left seems to be okay). After a time the noise becomes more constant but is stopped when brakes are applied. How can I cure this problem?

What are anti-squeel shims? Are those the brake pad shims?

Nice one Andy! I swapped the shims and pads across on the front and it has cured the problem.

That's one job off the list! On to the next.

Thanks again,
Dave
