Fresh rotors, fresh brakes on the rusty, trusty Mirage. The front right doesn't make any noise at all, but the front left almost always gives a fairly quiet squeal when braking at mid speeds; 15-20mph.
But usually, when nearing a stop, it gives a horrid, nails-on-the-chalkboard screech. It sounds like the feeler is touching the rotor, but it isn't.
I pulled the caliper off this weekend to inspect it and found nothing out of the ordinary. Put the caliper back on, and the squeal went away. "I'm awesome!" was my next thought.
But then after a few dozen miles, it started again.
Is this the point where I apply that "brake squeal" stuff to the backside of the pads?
