Rear brake squeal.

Just changed my rear brakes for a brand new full UK set up (discs, calipers and OEM Toyota pads) and am getting a lot of squealing from them. Am I right in thinking that there ares some optional anti-squeal shims I can add or is there another trick? Cheers!

It might still be the handbrake if it's not adjusted correctly; disc needs to be able to spin freely when handbrake is off. Also, make sure fluid is topped up properly otherwise you won't get enough braking pressure.

 

Here endeth the lesson on how to suck eggs! ;)

I think the handbrake is correctly adjusted (certainly works fine...) but I will double check again though..! Fluid is filled up OK.

 

I'm always open to learning better ways to suck eggs :)

Just thought, when are you getting the squealing? Under hard braking, lightly touching the pedal or just when driving without applying the brakes? How long have they had to bed in?

It only happens at low speeds when just coming to a stop. Manoeuvring around a car park for example. Nothing when driving normally without braking. They've been on for about a week but I've not done too many miles yet. Will be another couple of weeks before I have chance to go at them so maybe they'll bed in and stop by themselves ;)
