Angry Squeeks/Squeal Sound

Guys,

The sound came back after few months fixing the metal clip and replacing rear brake pads. I took my car back for another brakes inspection. They are now replacing my front pads nextweek.

Any of you had similar problems? It sounded like your emergency brakes were on and you can hear it at low speed, such as 0-5mph... also, when pressing your brake pedal slightly at low speed.

This is so annoying!

Had the same problem. Dealer changed my pads and the problem went away. Still silent after 10,000km.

Twice I have had small stones jam between the rotor & rotor steel guard. It makes for a really annoying scraping sound.
To remedy it is simply a matter of removing the wheel & pulling out the stone with a steel ruler.
