Hi guys, anyone experiencing brake squeal? I have a 2020 R and it only has 2,000 miles, the brakes are upgraded but not ceramics. They squeal louder on warmer days but totally quiet on cold days... Looking to see if anything I can do before going to the dealership. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

 

apply some brake grease to the back of the pads. Be careful not to get any on the rotor or pad face.

 

Thanks! Is there a way to do it without taking off the wheels and the pads? Seems like I should just drop it off at the dealer... 😕

 

Pads have to come off. If under warranty, let the dealer do it.

 

I tell my wife "That squeal tells you the brakes are working properly"

I bet you are not as gullible...

 

😁😁

 

thank you!

 

Just DO NOT let them do this!! Previous owner of my car insisted the dealer make his CCM brakes stop squealing and this was the result. Sticky grease covering the whole backing plate of each brake pad and every other part. Thankfully none of it got on the face of the pads or rotors. Took me all day to clean up the mess and remove all the grease and dirt.


How they should look:

 

The normal fix is to apply some brake grease (high temp ceramic) to the backs of the pads, but if that doesn't work you can try some CRC De-Squeak: https://www.ebay.com/itm/CRC-05080-D...0456407b51c3d9

I used it years ago (not on a Jag) and it worked great, completely eliminated an annoying brake squeal that I couldn't cure no matter what else I tried.
You spray a liberal coating on the swept areas of all the brake rotors, both inner and outer faces, then you burnish it on using much the same procedure as is used to bed new brake pads in - get up to 60 mph or thereabouts, brake hard down to 10 mph, repeat 8 or 10 times until you can see and smell some grey smoke.

 

thanks guys! people are also telling me to drive at high speed and slam on the brakes... 😬

 

You need to be told?

 

yea, I need to be more aggressive with it
