If you want an easy way of putting on that anti-squeel stuff, you can buy these stick on pads that go on the backing plate of the pads, they function the same as the liquid anti-squeal stuff, but in a stick-on pad. Napa usually sells em, and so does kragen, autozone and pepboys.

I have the sick-on pads on the backside of the brake pad AND anti-squeal solution on the contact portion...my brakes still squeal

Wait a minute, you have the anti-squeal on the part of the pad that contacts the rotor?? If so, then thats your problem right there. The only way I can think of remedying this is to go and get some garnet sand paper (it MUST be garnet) and scuffing the rotor down on both sides, and scuffing the pads down as well. If the rotors are really messed up, you will need to get them turned or resurfaced, or get new rotors/pads altogether.

If you don't already have shims, try those and see if it stops the squeal. Any and all anti-noise products should only be applied to the backing plate of the pad, and NOT on the portion that contacts the rotor.

What car is tis for btw?

If you don't have any of that anti-squeal stuff, you can always dump a can of creamed corn on the pads and rotors.

 

why didn't you talk about that when you refered to my car about brakes and rotors?

Why doesn't anyone start sending me money for all the advice I give ?

All good questions needing an answer

A cheaper solution is to urinate on the break pads. Works all of the time.

I was just trying to figure out how to get rid of all this extra creamed corn I have sitting in the cabinets. Ick...

UPDATE:

So this weekend I pulled my tires off, and applied the red beloved patriot that Roger recommended. It worked!! I drove it 60 miles today and no squeals. (So far)

Thanks again all who helped!

No, I mean I have the anti-squeal solution on one side (contact area) and the stick-on pad on the back side (other side of the contact area)

 

[CFster]

There are two sides to a brake pad. The friction surface (contact area), and the backing plate (backside). They are combined using rivets, or are chemically bonded together.

NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING should be applied to the friction surface. It is supposed to contact the rotor only. Putting anti-squeal on the friction surface is like putting grease on it. All anti-squeal goop, sprays, shim pads etc. are to be applied to the backing plate side of the brake pad only.

Take your car to a mechanic before you kill yourself.

Callahan Brakepads.... The spectrometer readouts show a rich strobin fade.

Exactly what do you mean by the "contact" area? What Cfster said is correct, and I hope that you do not have anything on the side that touches the rotor, unless what you mean is that you put ant-squeal on one backing plate and the sticky on the other backing plate on the same caliper.

([|]) where the (stick-on pad here--->[ and ]<---anti squeal here) are the brakes pads and the "|" is the rotor and the ( and ) is the caliper.
