How do you know the pads on the used car you just bought are OEM pads? Unless you know for sure that the pads are OEM there is a good chance the pads were changed. My 15's didn't and my 18's don't squeal. Dust? You bet! Grabby with very light braking? Absolutely. Squeal? No.I just bought a 2015 PP GT and the brembos squeal like a mf. Does anyone have a fix? I have heard brake cleaner and also ceramic pads. Just wanted to get a consensus here.
This happened every now and then with my original '15 PP pads, too. I purchased the new OEM pad revision last month and replaced them myself, making sure I used the grease. These new pads make ZERO noise! And they really improved the heat fade under heavy braking.I have a 17 pp and my front brakes squeal like crazy too. I've tried bedding them to no avail. If I hit the brakes decent, no noise. It's just when you're lightly appealing the pressure that the squeal like crazy. It can be embarrassing.
You're absolutely right on what to do..Haven't had to do this on my gt yet but it did take care of same problem on the Ws6 Trans am back years ago.Take the pads off
scuff the rotors and clean them with brake cleaner
Apply anti squeal to the pad backer plates and slider pins
Then lake a look at the pad surface, and sand the pads down if you see any shiny glazed areas. If they got hot and glazed, then they can squeal pretty bad and won't stop until you take the surface glazing off.
