Break Squeal
For a few weeks now, I've noticed that every morning my breaks squeal until they warm up (I assume this is what is happening). I am wondering is this happening because of the cold or because of the winter tire package I recently put on or are my breaks just crap?

This has been happening to my brakes for about a month or so now. It's definitely moisture related. I just wish there was a solution for it because it's the kind of squeal that goes straight into your teeth.

I read somewhere on here that someone with brake squeal got good results by placing a dab of high-temp grease on the back of the pad where it contacts the piston.

Moisture? Is there evidence to support a moisture claim?
I'm betting its simply the pad material glazes as it cools from your previous drive. This cooled/glazed coating needs to warm up and wear off before the squeal goes away. From others on this forum, it seems that most claim the squeal subsides after 1K-2K miles. |

Well, I think my breaks were crap to begin with. But thanks for all your replies on the brake squeal.
I hope it goes away eventually because it's very painful to go through my neighbourhood each morning with this squeaking sound coming out of my brand new car. |
