sarawyatt Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I've got a 06 WRX and just recently the breaks are horrendously squeaking but only at low speed breaking. High speed- fine. Anyone else experience this? And how to solve? Spoke to a scoobie guy at a garage and he told me its just part and parcel of how a scoobie is. Really? It's damn annoying!! Many thanks in advance :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I've had a slightly squeeky front right brake for a while. Same as you, low speeds only. Can be caused by numerous things. Usually dirt/grit caught amongst it all. Could try to give it a clean up. What's the overall condition of pads, disc and calipers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarawyatt Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 All in pretty good condition to be fair, had them all checked out no so long ago. Think I'll try what you say, see if there's any grit in there, if not think I might just change the pads anyway. It'd be ok if it was just a little squeak but it's not, just one long really loud noise. it's ridiculous! Honestly it's so embarrassing. Thanks for your help.

Scoobyghost Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I feel the same about my squeek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blobeye_Mike Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I've had that problem when when i bought my car and the previous owner was using a cheaper pad, as soon as i swapped them out for a higher quality brake pad it was perfect! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarawyatt Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 I think it might have to be. What brand did you use for yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blobeye_Mike Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 My front ones needed done and thought id replace the discs while i was at it as they were slightly lipped and corroded, i got some Black Diamond G12 discs and Black Diamond Predator pads, worked wonders for me so far, were like £200 from demon tweets.

Phila67 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I've seen advertised some anti squeal pads. No idea if they work but looks like you add them in addition to your pads Mintex Ceratec Anti Squeal Grease Lubricant and EBC Brake Pad Anti Squeal Shims Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
