What to do when the brake pads squeak, even when they are new.

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Brake system

Video tutorial

The squeaking of brakes - even when new - is a common issue and can depend on several factors: the first is the material of the brake pads; metallic or sintered pads are harder and tend to create squeaks against the disc. It’s better to use ceramic or semi-metallic pads.

A second reason could be the lack of installation of anti-noise shims, which are also paired with a special anti-noise paste. Another reason could be worn brake discs, or rusty caliper guides caused by overly gentle driving or infrequent use of the vehicle.

The wear shown by the YouTuber in the video should not be underestimated either.
