MY brakes make a terrible high pitched squealing noise when i reverse, which is worse in the cold. What could cause that?

 

the cold...?

 

lol sorry i wasent clear, it squeeks regardless of that, just worse in the cold, is there anyways to take it down a few notches

 

I have the same issue. Did you figure out what was causing it and how to rectify? Could it be that brake fluid needs to be changed?

I started noticing it since about 3 weeks, there was a little bit to squealing when I reversed the car out in the morning, but it would go away after 10 seconds. However, since the last couple of days, I've noticed that squeal hapen every once in a while while normal driving too.

????? :-(

 

i dont think its the brake fluid, i only got 6500km on my car

 

That's a flaw with the Infiniti brake pads, Infiniti has no resolution for it; I had the same issue, and the dealer agreed to replace the pads and resurface the rotors under warranty, the noise is gone but I expect it to come back in the near future.

 

While there could be a few reasons why this is happening, the most common cause is a pad transfer layer that has been worn through and not replenished. What that means is that the film layer left on the rotor surface by the pad material has rubbed away over time. The pad is now rubbing on bare iron, which it doesn't like to do.

I suggest periodically running through a pad bed-in procedure to refresh the transfer layer. Not only will you stop better, but there is a very good chance your noise issue will go away or at least be mitigated.

thanks for the reply!in time i plan on getting new rotors and calipers anyways, i was just wonder if there was a quick fix.

 

Welcome to the club! Probably 15 more threads on this.

 

^ lol......

 

yep^ have to go aftermarket pads

 

Do you know of the pad bed-in procedure for stock pads by any chance?

 

The OEM Stock pads is garbage, Much better with Hawk HPS

 

Not the OE procedure, but the general STILLEN procedure that is good for most street pads:
