98 lumina front brake noise problem


1979lee

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

got a 98 lumina 96k miles,

my front drivers side brakes make a treible grinding/sqauking noise when i back up my car, and the noise only happens, when the brakes are slightly pressed.

i had the brakes and rotors inspected they are in good working order, so i am at a loss

the brakes did this before but i had them replaced(pads) and the rotors turned.

 

thanks :question:

What kind of pads are they?

 

stock replacement pads , i had the brakes done a a local shop, they stop great

just noisy, on a side note , this lumina was a county inspectors car,(aka) county mantained , if that means anything

Ive got semi-metallic pads on my car, and they do not make any noise at all. How are the caliper slides? Are you using any shims on the back of the pads?
