ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Squeek Noise from Brakes

    I changed my brakes 3 days ago i bleed them too. The new brakes make this really loud noise when im pressing on the brake pads, i did forget to add brake fluid after i got done bleeding the brakes, it still had brake fluid it was way above half it just needed a little bit to get full.*I just added some* I just wanna know what is making this noise is it just because my car got new brakes and hes just trying to get used to it, or was it that i forgot to add a little bit of brake fluid. Or if you have a better explination i would like to know.

    The fluid level would have no bearing on whether or not your pads are squeaking. Also, when changing pads, there's really no reason to bleed the system. That's really only necessary when you open the system for some reason (replacing a caliper or master cylinder, for example.)

    Squeaking pads could be a result of a few things. Did you break them in properly? Did you use anti-squeak shims or paste? Did you resurface your rotors before installing new pads? Did you install the pads correctly? Did you check to make sure the pads weren't defective? (I've seen brand new pads fall apart, leaving the bare metal to scrape against the rotor. Quality pads, too... EBC.) Did you change your rear brakes as well, or only your front brakes? If you didn't change the rear, are you positive the squeaking isn't coming from the rear?

      If you replaced them 3 days ago the pads probably should brake in a little.

      If the problem still exists after 3 or 4 long drives it may probably be one of the things mentioned above.
