Question:
1998 honda accord rotors are good brakes still squeak
Answers:
I need a Ford Galaxy Owners Manual, New 2.0 TDCI?
The squeak may be caused by brake dust ... cheaper pads often produce a lot of brake dust which builds up & causes noisy brakes. Ceramic pads, while more expensive, produce less dust & noise. There is a spray you can get in most auto parts stores that reduces the dust ... getting rid of the noise:http://www.valvoline.com/pages/products/...
... if it doesn't work, you might want to go to a brake specialist to evaluate your brakes.
Good Luck and Good health!
What to do with my chevy lumina?
you put them on wrongHow much horse power does a corvette engine have?
did you need to turn the routers too? and didn't? I had a truck once did everything and still squeaked. just the way it was. had to live with it.You need to put Brake Lubrication on the shoes it usually comes with the pads.

If you hit something, it could be a bent wheel.Anybody know if the new vw rabbit has any electrical problems.?
Do they do it all the time? Or just when you first go in the morning? They could be a little wet / damp.Why are the dodge avengers on 4 wheel dynos in that new "deep purple" TV commercial?
They all do that unless you put on the lubricant. The squeaking is from the metal on metal contact!1994 Ford Tempo won't start (4 cyl.)?
did you put enough lubrication between the pads and rotors?Where are the BMW's 3rds and 5ths series for the Europeen market manufactured?
Did you install semi-metallic pads? They often squeek.You may be able to relieve the problem by bedding the brakes: Run the car for a while, preferably in traffic so the brakes get hot. Find a quiet stretch of road, and bring the car up to 40mph. Then hit the brakes as hard as you can (make sure nobody is behind you).
Which one is better Honda Jazz or New Suzuki Swift??
If that doesn't work, you may have to live with it.
Which emblem am I missing on my 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport?
He stole my thunder!! I think it is "bargain basement" brake pads. You cannot use cheap pads on an Accord because mostly organic pads (cheap) also don't have enough metal in the compound to dissipate heat away from the rotor, hence warped rotors and glazed pads, which will squeak all the time, whether using them or not!

Don't cut corners on something as important as your brakes. Bendix and Duralast have done well for me. Be prepared to pay about $35 for an "OEM" set. You will be pleased.
1982 280zx what transmission 3 or 4 speed ?
There are many possibillities for the brakes squeaking.First of all, if your calipers are working, and are not sticking
or seized, then, check your discs, or rotors.are they shiny?
glazed? pitted? scored? if so, replace them with new ones.
secondly, the biggest mistake people make when they change their brake pads, is they often buy cheap pads.
how do you know if their cheap? just look at the pad, run
your finger over it. if it is hard, and rough, and looks
like a metallic pad, then your ok.the cheap pads have a
soft surface, and heat up very quickly. the metallic pads offer
complete braking satisfaction.however they may be a little hard on the discs and or rotors, their worth every cent, as you can stop on a dime.one more thing could help, is an anti squeal brake product. it comes in a small tube. apply it
liberally, on the inner side of the pads.when the rotors or discs heat up, as your driving,this liquid will heat up aswell,
and slowly drip from the pad, onto the surface of the rotor, or disc, thus eliminating the squeal.
as mentionned, this should help, providing, the discs are new,
secondly, the calipers are not sticking and the caliper sliding pins are well lubricated using an anti-seize brake compound or grease.and also brake pressure is very important.
if you press on the brake pedal, it should feel firm, and the pedal should be relatively high. if not, have system bled.
with hondas, the engine must be running when you bleed the brakes, as it is a hydraulic system.
MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!, NEVER RELY ON A JACK,
TO SUPPORT YOUR CAR. ALWAYS USE JACK STANDS.
hope this helps,
