    i hear ya, my friends for explorer is the same way. i put new pads and rotors all around, (greased it all) the fronts would squeal under light braking. took the pads off both side, hit them with the squeal stop, been good since.

    or it could just be the pads, some people complain about a squeal when cold using some pad brands.

    So pretty much remove the lube now off the pads and apply squeak cream or spray? Do you got a link of the stuff I should use. Thanks again

    if you lubed the backs of the pads, take that off, then spray the backs.

    if the pins and metal hardware is greased, thats fine, where the pads rest in the brackets that is.

    ive used this kind, and the spray on types.

    notice the ends are free of the glue, (where you would grease them) you only want it where the pads make contact with the piston, or the caliper out side. you'll see marks by this time on your pads where they meet. aka a round circle where the piston hits, and some marks on the outer pad. dont go nuts applying it, thin smear works well. in this pic it looks a bit thick to me.

    Hi Scottydoggs, so I end up putting some disc brake quiet on both sides and re lubed the sliders, the sounds is still there when backup up from my driveway, it sounds if the rotors are warm abit it wont happen, is it possible that the pads are so thick that its rubbing on the rotors when backing up and this will resolve itself once the pads have been worn down abit? When I installed the Caliper it was pretty tight to get it in, im going to end up replacing my rear rotors and pads because yesterday I realized when I slide my finger nail on the rotor I can feel the lines going across.

    it could be just the pads. once they wear down some it may stop. then again some pads do this when cold. ceramics pads come to mind. they seem to have cold issues. work better warmed up.

    I replaced my back brakes with Akebono pads and new Rotors and the install went smooth. I revisited the driver side brakes again to see if I can make the squeaking go away, I cleaned the rotor with brake cleaner and also the back of the pads, reapplied some lube on the sliders and applied disc silent on the back of the pads and reinsert them. The noise is still there can it be possible that because I did not do the bed-in on the new pads thats why its squeaking? I went to the Akebono website and they said no bed-in is required but do you guys think with any kind of pads that a bed-in is required. I found this process and wanted to see what you guys think Instructions for bedding in your brakes

    tip one when dealing with brake noise. Check the backing plate.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    backing plate in referring to the metal plate when you take off the rotor its located behind that correct? You got a pic is it possible its hitting the rotor?

    BillBoost37 you were right, the backing plate was touching the rotor, all is good now thanks again for everyone's help
