Brake Noise

[ctate2]

I took my car in because the brake calipers were sticking and had the brake pads in the front and rotors replaced. Before the work it was making a constant squeaking while driving. Now after the replacement of the brakes I sometimes hear a little squeaking when I am braking. It's not as loud as it was before and it's only for a second I can hear it. Is there something wrong with the new brakes?

Pretty common. The noise will usually subside with use. Follow the pad bedding procedure recommended by the manufacturer. Hopefully the pads have built in shims, otherwise they require anti squeal compound on the backing. The replacement calipers
are pre lubed although the abutment clips should be greased where the pad ears slide. What was used for replacement parts?

if the calipers were sticking they should have replaced them. did they? as far as the squealing, i always use a product like Permatex Brake-Quiet on the backs of the pads. i haven't had brake squeal on any vehicle since i started using it 20 years ago. if it keeps making noise, take it back.

Yes they replaced the calipers as well. And the noise isnt terrible like it was. Its only a slight squeak that I do not even hear everytime I brake. Parts used were brake pads part # BND D833. Both Calipers # CLP 18-B4759 and 18-B4758 and rotors # BDR 540997

Bosch parts? Came up empty searching those numbers. Continue normal braking and the squeal should dissipate. As koda2000 said, if it continues take it back. You paid for the job and are entitled to a guarantee regardless of how minor the noise issue may be. GL
