Brake squeling when nearing stop

KicknShift · 01-22-2019, 02:35 AM

Installed some akebono brake pads and made sure to add anti squeak paste to every possible section but I’m still getting an odd squeling noise when I’m almost to a complete stop. It only happens when the brakes are warmed up and I apply very light pressure to the pads under 10 mph.
For example I’ll be driving normally and as soon as I pull up to a parking spot this squeak will appear. It’s not the standard high pitched brake squeak that we are all so familiar with but a deeper tone. I’ll try to get a video in the morning but it’s really frustrating and embarrassing and I’m not sure what to do next.

Try bedding your discs in. The pad material that is transferred to the discs should quiet them down:

Bingo. Re-bed the brakes and see if it stops.

Akebono ceramic pads shouldn't make much noise, if any.
