I recently got some new rear brake pads on my 2000 Chevrolet Impala. I know the calipers and rotors are fine, but the second the brakes start getting hot, they really start to squeal....really loud. I took it back to the Car place and they looked at the brakes and said it was fine, "saying it might be some debris", and even upgraded the pads. But they are still squealing when heat starts to build. Does anyone know what this might be that is causing it.
Also I noticed if I give the brakes the same amount of brake from the time I start to the time I stop it limits the squealing. But if I try to give it more brake while stopping it will squeal. Also the brakes feel fine when I am on them its just the squealing is irratating...

One more thing will the pads eventually mesh with the rotors to prevent the squeaking, or is it vital to get them replaced or get the anti squeal, or even new rotors. The reason I ask is that the place i got them is out of town and got them while in college

the squealing is caused by the pads vibrating at a very high frequency (like a tweeter), there is an anti squeal compound that can be put on the back side of the brake pads to mitigate it, it makes the back of the pad stick to the caliper or piston and doesn't allow it to vibrate.

IF the rotors haven't been burnished so they aren't {Threaded} they will do that - They need 2 b finished with counter directional finishes..IF the pads aren't broken in slowly & cured they will continue 2 squeel- Look in Bendix directions (eg) IF the pads are cheap & loose in the calipher or not tapered - they will squeel - IF the Guide pins & slides are binding , the same will happen..

its usually the type of metal in the rotors or the pads they have installed on it that causes this to happen,if it keeps doing it id take it back again,you paid for a good job ,don't settle for nothing less,good luck on it.
