Squeaky Brakes when warm

robodonkey · 2011-11-17 23:07:56

Bought a nice lexus is300, looks straight enough no engine issues yet (touch wood) and everything is pretty tidy on it. Only one niggle, when the brakes warm up the squealing is annoying as f*** with mild pressure on. Normal for these cars? Never had a car persistently doing this before.....ideas anyone? Ta! :)

Not being smart but did you check how much wear they have on them? They might need to be replaced.

Alternatively if they are new enough they may just need a bit of copper grease put on the back of the pad.

Would the squeal "stop" with more pressure if the pads were low?
I'm more used to the crunch/rumble noise when pads are low....
(I didn't check so legit comment - I'll have them looked at tomorrow)

Post above is right, its definately the pads! Replace the ones on the axle that are squeeking with a bit of copper grease and ur problem will be solved!
