After new pads & rotors, should my car still squeal?

My brakes were squealing when I backed out of of our 45 degree drive-way. After a while, they began to squeal at other times--though not at at every single braking.



Had all the pads changed, had rear rotors changed. Car still squeals when I back out of drive. Should it be doing that? Or is that normal for new parts?

The rotors that were not changed should have been gone over lightly with fine sand paper (as well as the pads). New rotors should be cleaned. Sometimes you need to apply anti-squeal compound to the back of the pads. And sometimes the material of the pads does not work well with the type of metal used in the rotors. Cheap pads are noisy, short lived, and they wear out the rotors fast. Never buy the cheapest pads if possible. Always stick with a good medium quality or better. Brakes should not squeal.

brake parts typically have a film on them to prevent rust and such. typically it is recommended to wipe the brake parts with a cleaner such as %26quot;brake parts cleaner%26quot; this will remove the film and the inhibitor from the pads and rotors which will release allot of the squealing.



and yes typically it takes break parts a certain amount of time to loosen up to the vehicle.
they can if you got hard pads
