Insane Brake Howling - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #84393 4 posts Started by DKGT4
I need some insight... I am running into a problem with my brakes. They are the stock JDM GT Four brakes with Endless brake pads... I changed the pads to get away from the intense squeal and howling that my brakes do... (Rather embarrassing) however that did not fix anything. Any suggestions on what that squeal/howling could be from?
Did you replace the rotors too?

Did your pads come with shims?

I replaced the rotors as well. Pads... I dont think they came with shims... hrmmm that could be the problem. Ill check that out If that is not the problem then anymore suggestions?
yea thats the purpose of shims, its so you dont have that squeal. make sure there is grease as well on the shim.
