How to Stop Brake Noise (Squeak, Squeal, Grinding Noisy Brakes) 

Finally someone who actually knows brakes. Thank you so much !!!!

Pretty simple fix really. Just remove the brakes,. It eliminates the noise all together.

I like how the presentation goes straight to the point, the description and detailed process is great, got subscribed because of it

Awesome. Straight to the info. I’m sweating in this hot garage and I appreciate you not doing the typical “hey this is Josh from Josh’s Cool Shop Mechanic and I’m trying to be RU-vid famous” intro. You got right to the good shit and I appreciate it.

a genuine youtuber making videos that people with beginner-intermediate car knowledge can understand

Fantastic job .. haven’t done break service in a minute so this was an awesome refresher now that I have a different one. 5 in 1 such a bonus to watch out for.

My cat likes to “help” with projects, too. Great video. Thanks!

Thanks good pointer's

100% of the time the reason why you got brake noise is because when installing the new parts they need to be greased. Any moving part that’s not greased will make noise. It’s important to get good quality brake grease and grease up any part that moves

Ncaaaaaw, kitty was just checking up on you 😂

when I back up and turn the wheels I heels sqeak sounds like metal on metal noise from the front only , this happens ONLY when i back up and turn and brake any idea? some place told me I need new pads and rotor but also new struts? which is expensive with the labor

Thank you very much

You have a very cute and fuzzy assistant.

Hello I got a Vauxhall combo van changed bearings on back but still sqeuking. It gets worse over distance stops when I put foot on break . Any ideas of what it maybe thanks .john

love your cat

i am hearing that noise when braking reverse while turning its only appear when i am after the long ride or traffic and the hood is hot while parking in my garage do you think it is the same problem?

I only get a squeaky noise when I hit the breaks going in reverse first thing when I drive. Otherwise, no break noise. Any tips?

Your cat knows how to fix it

Nic service

Kitteh powar!

I never had a glaze problem until I replaced my warped oem to centric premiums. I was hoping to scuff it using sandpaper to remove the glaze instead of turning. Is this possible?

The cat is awesome.. Kittttty Kittttty kittttty

Thanks for the video. My brakes are quiet when coming to a stop or slowing down but if I am stopped completely and then let go of the brakes there is a groaning metal noise for that moment as I release them. Do you know what that could be?

Hello I have new rotor and brake pads. i am getting a high pitch noise on the front right side only. And everything is lubed up and cleaned it before. I got rotors resurfaced and it went away for a good week and now its back again. It happens when i am about to push the brakes fully and stop completely, you hear a high pitch noise not for long but its annoying. cant figure it out.

Hi there I hope you could answer my problem on my brakes. So, when I step on the break while im moving or constant speed my breaks delayed on gripin out like when I press again on gas I can feel it remains on grip.

Hey bro do you use the same lubricant for the pads/clip and sliding pins ?

Can u sugest me how to changing break oil from dot 4 to dot 3

Hey mate, thanks for sharing video. Quick question, I have changed to bigger wheel 255/17/r18, but since then my rear brake start making noise when I put foot on brake Prior to changing tyre no issues. Brake pads checked and still has good life. Any tips or clue why?

Mine makes a hissing noise an then as it goes to floor start to whistle it's a dodge grand caravan 2012 sxt

I have had new rotors and pads fitted in the rear and ever since I have a squeeking coming from my back right when driving slowly or when turning right, do you know what this could be so I could take a look?

Does the screeching noise vary? I hear a noise in my car but unsure cause it’s not as high sounding

Everytime I come to a full stop after I release the brakes and start driving again, I hear thumps as if something was falling around in the trunk. What could be wrong with the brakes in this situation? I also hear squealing noise occasionally when I brake

what about squeaking on left turns only..? two different shops told me it was the metal clip scraping off my rotor, are you familiar with that..? Both shops said they pulled the clip back in it’s place but it’s still squeaking when I turn left…

This is the best brake video I have seen . Most informative . I've got a screeching noise and after front brake pad and caliper replacement , the screeching noise is still there . I was told it was either the strut mounts and or the rear brake pads . Now I'm wondering if brake pad lubricant was used when replacing the front pads and calipers . When you moved the car back and forth , it's the same exact sound I still am hearing . I dont think it's the strut mounts making that screechy noise . A strut mount is more like a thumping noise , would you agree sir ? Have you ever heard a strut mount make a screeching noise ? I've already ordered the strut mounts , so they will be put on , but I'm just wondering . I also replaced the sway link bushings , so I know it's not that making the screeching noise . Although this has been extremely frustrating, I have learned alot . It's like a puzzle and I've almost got all the missing pieces put together . I tend to think the screeching noise is coming from the rear brake pads . I told this person to put the rear pads on first to see if that doesn't stop the noise . This person is not the brightest bulb in the box , so to speak , but he does have alot of experience working on cars . He has fixed my car several times before this and has done a good job. But for some reason we're having a hard time fixing the loud screeching noise . I think its rear pads because when I step on the brakes the screeching stops . I apologize for such a lengthy comment . Thankyou for your time . 🚗

Question? I went to change my breaks today after driving on them making noise for like two weeks. I noticed that the rotor on the passneger side is ate up while the other 3 are evenly worn. Do you think it could be uneven break change and me just driving on it fucked it up or do you think its a stuck caliper?

My brakes make a grinding noise like when they the pada are gone. I checkd the pads and rotors and everything seems to be in great conditions. Defective pads or rotors ?

The kitty is the star of the hole show 😺.

is it safe to use copper anti seize on back of brake pad? is it safe on rubber piston boot?

Have 2011 Tacoma and a loud (metal to metal) sound is heard when only reversing. Replace front and rear drums and brakes. And sound continues. Anyone can help. Thanks

Hi I have a 997 turbo s with ceramic brakes & when I brake gently to slow down it makes a sound as if the pads are worn yet the pads are fine. Any idea what it could be ? Thanks in advance.

I’m getting break noise when I first turn on my truck and leaving the house and it’s very loud

What would you check if the grinding continued after a full brake job? The dealership said the bearing was fine, but it also "whirs" at low speeds.

Got all pads and rotors replaced only about 1500 miles in and one of the rear will screech anytime I brake over 35. Idiots at pep boys try to say tire shine ruined the rotor. Any ideas might help ( not really a screech more like a high pitched squeal) if I brake hard it goes away

Shop said my brakes and rotors looked fine but that the squeak/squeal is from dust? Best fix?

My dad has a 2004 buick and when you hit the breaks they howl or sounds like a whale it's pretty loud he replaced the rear breaks but the sound is still there

Mines from the old rotors. Front rotor went after 100k miles and now back rotors going at 160k miles.

3.31 that prt u replaced what do u call it

My favorite part is mr kitty wanting to help lol

My brake pads and rotors are brand new, but after driving like for 20 min. I get a loud grinding noise when I brake. Any ideas what could be? Thanks

Good and informatics video but voice should be little more clear and loud

I get noise when I drive and it goes away as I brake. What could it be? I changed the pads, and my mechanic said the rotors were good. Could it be the back plate against the rotors? Or a wheel bearing?

Have you ever had a Situation where the brake pad fell out because it's worn down to the metal?

i changed my brakes and rotors but my right one sqeaks when i start slowing down. Anyone know what it could be?

What about grinding noise that comes and goes?

I'm losing my mind with my brake issue and going broke paying mechanics and yet the problem still remains. I have had my front rotors and brakes done and I've had the back brakes done but yet I'm still hearing strange loud screetchy groaning sounds while driving and sometimes when I put the brakes on to stop there is a horrible crunching sound. I'm praying somebody will figure it out before I go broke, this has me so depressed.

I got the first reason

I got my brakes and rotors checked, mechanic saw nothing wrong and cant figure out the problem. It only occurs every few drives, I posted it.

Dude sound like a Mexican mike tyson

I almost fucked up how you talk at the beginning

your voice is pretty hard to understand, too much bass in it or something...very muddy, vibraty. Strongly suggest trying to reduce echo in room (like, make sure the mic isn't near any surface like the monitor, or too close to the desk surface, near a wall) and I also suggest thinking about the Proximity Effect. (The PE means more base as you get close to the mic - try moving your mouth maybe 1 inch further away than usual...though this is only true for Cardiod mics...which is one of the most common types.) Moving that inch back should reduce the boom in your voice that I think is making you harder to understand. Oh and audio is only coming out of my left earcup, so always render a small section of your video before doing the whole video to ensure your settings are correct. Having a small sample render saves you time this way, helps you catch things. Even on mono microphones you should have audio coming through both earcups. So you made some sort of mistake there. Otherwise, I've been watching your vids, getting ready to change my breaks with 0 car knowledge or previous experience, and the extra tids bits you include are gold, as well as showing bad and good comparisons. Suggest going to 4k if you want to get more visual pop from these (tip: even if it's 1080p source video, YT does less compression on 2k and 4k videos...even if it's a 1080p video rendered to 4k - which is also called upscaling) Great videos, work on the clarity of your voice though.
