terrible brake noise
i just changed my front brakes and they make the loudest and the worst noise ever. I think it's the new pad rubbing against the rotor but i did 2 weeks of extremely hard driving on the brakes thinking i could rub off the pad a little. No help... The noise is really loud but it;s only at low speeds(0-25)... like if i break hard u wont hear it, however if i am not braking or lightly braking u will hear it. The other day i was on the highway in traffic and it was really annoying. The sound is sometimes like when a steam engine train puts it's brakes on... it's that bad. What could be the problem? warped rotors? BTW the brakes arent acura brakes, they were from pep boys.
and i also replaced my studs could that be it? It sounds like it's coming from the passenger side wheel.
THIS ONLYT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR/ROTORS ARE WARM! The first 5 min of driving when they are still cold there is no noise.. HELP sound is annoying.

Rotors do not easily warp. Please read this:

The rotor can have runout from debris between the hub and rotor.

Re: (Dogginator)
My teg made the same noise a few weeks ago and i pulled the caliper off and a rivet was caught in between the rotor and the pad. The rivet came from some rubber deal on the pad.

i took the wheel off and it ended being the rotor protector ( i dunno what u call it) rubbing against the rotor. On the back side of the rotor, that black metal thing was rubbing. i just adjusted it and now it's all good.

Its called the dust shield. At least it was a simple fix.
