problems when braking

**rdboy** · August 2nd, 2009 02:51 PM

I have a dmax and I just had the break pads replaced with bendix brand new. Ang ingay pa rin pag pumreno. Masakit sa tenga. Is there something wrong with the pads? Need help guys! TIA

Can you further elaborate?

Disc Brakes are known to squeal normally when the brakes are applied.

It squeaks, squeals. Just like an indication that you should have your pads replaced. But it's brand new. The squeal is high pitch esp when your breaking from 10/20km/hr

What pads did you use? Brake pad compound might not be compatible with disc surface and could cause squealing. Have the disc surface cleaned properly, and the pad surface that contacts the disc surface, cleaned as well for any possible dirt that might have been trapped. Then apply anti-squeal paste on the SIDE and BACK part of the pads. The paste on the side prevents the squeal when the pads move within its slot, and the paste on the back does the same for the piston and shim.

Bendix with titanium.
I'll have it checked

Any update on your brakes rdboy?

Went to Manila and then when I got home, nawala na yung ingay. It's been a week now pero di pa rin bumabalik. I don't know why it suddenly disappeared. Thanks for the suggestions! But I'll have it checked still. Nag pa break in lang yata yung pads. Hehe

Ah yes, this case is evident on newly-replaced pads. Ika nga e, "getting to know each other" stage yung pads and disc. Hehehe!
