Loud Brakes
Everytime I would brake the pedal and sterling would shake really bad, so replaced the Front Rotors and Brakes (purchased parts from autozone). Now when I drive the car there is a noise comming from the brakes all the time, even when I am not using the brakes. This noise is very loud and not so much a high squel like what a bus would make, but a lower pitch still very loud, almost like a door squeek but constant. When I step on the brakes it stops very good, and there is no shaking in the wheel or pedal. I did notice when after my test drive the brakes started to smoke. Is that normal? I thought is was.
Any body have any idea what it could be or did I do something wrong? FYI: there is no adjuster valve from what I can see either.

Re: Loud Brakes
the pins are maybe two inches long, majority of which is not threaded, maybe 1/2inch is threaded. use brake lube on the non-threaded part only.

Re: Loud Brakes
Well I found what the problem was. On the brakes themselves was a clip that was sticking out and rubbing against the wheel. It did not look like it was used for anything on my setup. So I snapped them off. and now.. it sounds and works great!!!

Re: Loud Brakes
i bet the smoking was from the chemicals on the rotors. if cleaned really good, it wont happen. but using the brakes for the first time can cause smoke. after that, then id be worried.

Re: Loud Brakes
Could have been. It does sound like I may need to tackle the rear brakes too

Re: Loud Brakes
rears are easy, as long as the drum plays nice. 2 taps with BFH and it should come right off.
