Brakes - What anti-squeal do you use ?

rsutoratosu · 08-29-2014, 10:29 AM

I ran out and didn't apply any when I change my rear brakes.. and yeah now when I tap the brakes a little I get the famous squeal noise.

What do you guys use on the pads ?

It's not a fancy website!

Thats what I've always used. The little packets are kind of a pain to use. I believe it was The Hack who pointed out you can also get the same stuff in tubes as ATE Plastilube. Bimmerworld is one source.

For all the metal->metal contacts on the outside (like caliper->caliper carrier, back&sides of brake pads et) I use copper grease (very thinly applied), as I find that copper grease sticks better/leaves a better film in harsh conditions than silicone grease.

For the guiding pins I use a silicon based grease as it has rubber guiding grommets/bushings. I think plastilube is also a silicon based grease.
