Is there a cause of squeel for the rear brakes. I had mine check a while ago, and the guy says they were good (perfect drums, rotors, good pads & shoes.

But the right rear squeals. I think he mentioned that a little rust from sitting outside will do it.

thx

Steve, what Jeff said (chamfer the leading edge of the pads) works....I do it to all my vehicles with disc brakes. I have also used the orange stuff you mentioned and it does not harden. It stay pretty much like it is when you apply it. Use a thin coat though! The stuff act as a dampening compound....midigates pad vibrations (no squeal). Also, I've heard that if you soak your pads in wine overnight they will not squeal.....just kidding!!! How's the race car doing Steve?
