If you hear a squeal from the brake calipers during braking, especially at low speeds, inspect the braking system to determine whether to replace the discs and pads or if a remedy is possible. The squeal is actually a vibration of the pads caused by imperfect contact between the disc surface and the pad itself.

Check the condition of both the pad and disc surfaces: if you notice cracks, proceed with replacement. Otherwise, an effective solution is to apply copper grease to the back of the pads, the sliding plates, and the floating pins of the caliper.
