on my 99 dodge durango why do my brakes keep squeaking after i had them replaced and the drums refinished?

Answer 1

They probably didn't replace the shims if they are disc brakes. You say drums - do you mean rotors? There is a spray you can get that temporarily quiets the squeak - after that the new discs could burn in and be all right.

Answer 2

The squeeking is more than likely coming from the front brakes.
You mentioned having the drums "refinished", or turned.
Drums are on the rear of the vehicle, rotors on front.
However in more & more vehicles 4 wheel disc brakes are the new norm. I digress, assuming that you have drum brakes on the rear, the noise is most assuredly coming from the front disc brakes. This can be caused by several things: worn brake pads, excessive brake dust, or warped rotors.
Most disc brake pads come with a built in wear indicator, which is merely a piece of thin metal that makes contact with the rotor when the brake pads get worn down to a certain point. They will make a squeeling noise, letting you know that they need replacement. If you catch it in time, all you will need is new pads most of the time. If you let it go, you will open a pandoras box of problems-KA CHING!
Warped rotors will cause a noise sometimes too. It's easy to determine if your rotors are warped: does your steering wheel, or front of your vehicle shake when you apply the brakes (while driving of course)? If so your rotors need to be resurfaced, or replaced.
Excessive dust buildup will cause them to squeek too.
If you just had brake work done on the front end, chances are that the mechanic did'nt treat the back side of the pads with disc brake anti squeel (spooge is a common trade term).
"Spooge" forms a barrier between the areas where the brake pads make contact with the brake calipers, preventing metal on metal contact.
If the reason that you brought your vehicle in was that noise, & they only worked on the back, find a new garage!
Good luck, let me know how you made out.

Answer 3

Any brake that squeaks after replacement is caused by the material the pads are made from. Some types that is the norm. You can buy some spray at the auto supply to stop the squealing, although I don't know how this will affect the braking action.

Answer 4

might desire to be countless issues or a mix of extra desirable than one. First wager could be a malfunction of the anti-lock gadget which may be fairly unusual in a 12 twelve months old motor vehicle. 2d threat may be a leaking vacuum booster, lower back fairly unusual yet nevertheless a threat. The ABS is only area of your braking gadget yet its no longer some thing you elect to allow to bypass unchecked. in case you could desire to pump the brakes to get them to quit the motor vehicle there's a substantial project. The whining noise is a puzzle, if its coming from the brakes it may might desire to be related to the rotors and/or the pads. the only reason that would connect it to the pedal pushing back might desire to narrate to an overheating subject the place the calipers are no longer retracting or there's a piston/s caught interior the calipers themselves. whilst brakes get overheated there's a phenomenon noted as fade that may furnish that effect.

Answer 5

The squeel is actually a vibration--probably a cheap shoe replacement--get the better shoes---the vibration is the shoe material resonating with the dust from the rotor---very simple to fix with a better shoe--go to a custom shop that knows the problem and can fix it. it is worth it.

Answer 6

dodge always tends to do this. I know on my dakota there were some wire clips that clipped on the pads. I was able to stop the noise after I removed the clips. weird huh?
