I have a 2011 Nissan Qashqui.

 

 

 

The brakes squeak so much that people turn their heads to see what the noise is. 

 

Occurs rain or shine, cold or hot. 

 

I have had the pads and discs changed, which made no difference? Last time it went for a service I informed the garage, who then proceeded to 'machine the pads' I think the guy said. 

 

 

 

Any ideas GZers?

 

 





The little things make the biggest difference.

there's something on the pads/rotor causing it - 

 

normally when you apply enough heat the rubbish will burn off or if you pulse it enough times the stone will fall off

 

 

 

but i would expect if you changed 4 rotors and 8 pads the noise will be gone

 

either

 

1 - it's not the brakes

 

2 - they did not do what they said they'd done

 

 

 

*disclaimer - i may be wrong as i am not a mechanic or mechanical engineer
