Put brake grease on the slide rails, back of pads, side of pads where it rides on slide rails, on the edge of piston where it contacts pad.. but it squeaks!
When I press the brakes it doesn't squeak, even if I just barely press them. But when they're not pressed and I'm just rolling along they will squeak squeak squeak, stops momentarily when I go over small bumps.. it seems as though the pads are loose or something? I torqued the bolts above the slide pins to specification, 22 ft lbs.
The rotors were cut 2-3 weeks ago, the pads were replaced 7 weeks ago.. the surface of the pads looked shiny, and the rotors, although smooth to the touch, had discolored lines running around them.. weren't there when they were cut.
Double piston type, and there are no clips or anything on either pad to hold them in place (strangely enough) so I wonder if I'm missing something.
Brakes are pretty simple and common so I know someone has some kind of advice.. C'mon, give it to me.
