I've noticed that my AMG is having some break squeal. Not like all the time but here and there it makes a squealing sound, especially when stopping from slow speed.

I checked my pad depth and i'm still at a good point in it's life.... is there any reason why I would be getting this. It doesn't sound like metal-metal grinding but its still pretty darn annoying!

I have this same issue but it started happening when I installed the Porterfield Racing pads on my stock rotors.. Ironically, it didnt squeal when I had the stock pads still in because it's a softer compound than the racing pads from what I've been told. Maybe it's time to get new pads or rotors.. GL

My C63 is at the dealer for the second time now for this very reason. only squeals at slow light stops. but I have lots of pad and rotor left. Drives me insane!!!

Can't stand it either. It makes it sound/feel like a poop-car.

Its very annoying, I know exactly what you mean.. And it's continuous sometimes when Im rolling to a complete stop at a light.. Embarrassing to say the least.. Im hoping it goes away after some time when the pads have some miles on them and even out.

The Porterfields fixed my squeaks.

You guys needs to probably bed your pads in again! Happens as well when brakes are dirty. There is nothing wrong. Just use them a little bit harder!

Mine squeal from time to time on very slow,soft stops and I have been told unfortunately its pretty common. I do a seat belt check ( hard emergency stop) and it seems to remedy for a while. Always comes back after a month or 2.

would love if someone had another solution to this issue

Yup, and the stock pads make a LOT of brake dust too which leads to the dirty factor.


most people say porterfields fix it (less dust)

don't worry ...because race car


just beat it abit and it should stop.

Im hoping after putting some miles on these Porterfield pads.. It'll eventually go away..

rentzington

everyone talks about how great and low dust those are, i'd imagine if you go out and do some fast hard breaking it will be fine.

This has been discussed many times already in the past. Rinse them off with water.

hopefully not a life motto

hmmm not sure what you mean ... lots of racing brakes sqeaks ..




and really if you brake hard a few times it stops making noise

So whats the remedy?? I got the same problem.....such a nice ride, makes it look stupid with the squeak everytime im stopping

Heat em' up!

I would find an empty road and do some hard stops (like slam the brake pedal down) from 40 to almost 0. Do it a couple times, just like you would with new brake pads.

Mine just started doing this (from about 10-15 km/hr to stop)

Will try to maybe do some braking tests and see if it fixes it

TIME FOR BRAKE CHECKS!

Or better yet, time to STFF.

Someones a grumpy man today.

One of the most common causes of brake squeal is glazed brake pads. Not implying that a proper bed-in wasn't conducted but one of the best ways to prevent glazed pads is by performing a thorough bedding-in procedure.

Good luck!

happened to me and I took it to the dealer. They replaced the pads and I think they mentioned something about sanding the rotors... Anyway, got it back and it's fixed.

So I doubt it might be dust...might want to have it checked out.

Same problem here I get a lot of head turns not because the cars look but the annoying squeaky sound....
