RE: Front Brake squeeling

That is what I wanted to hear. The only fix I have heard of that works well is to swap to aftermarket pads.

I'm having the same annoying problem with my '00 Ultra.
Let me know when you find something that works!

RE: Front Brake squeeling

Lyndall pads do work and work well or I believe they say they give your money back if they don't. Paul SR and Paul JR are great business people that intend to satisfy your needs. A few things that may help it to remove the pads, chamfer the edges, sand the flat surface prior to this by placing a sheet of 220 snadpaper on a flat surface and give it a few swipes. Also there are brake pad stick on liners available in parts stores if all else fails that may help when applied to a clean pad back. The squeal is a viabration that is usually caused by a slight misalignment. Make sure that the pins that the calipers ride on are lubricated with the proper Hi temp lubricant.

RE: Front Brake squeeling

Are you using any type of wheel cleaner? I cleaned my wheels a couple of months ago with Simple Green. The front brakes started to squeal... loud! I used them lightly and didn't clean them with anything but the Mr. Clean car wash system and the squealing vanished in a couple of days.
