[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 97732, member: 2217"] Hi EV. Did you have squeaky brakes before they replaced them? Did the dealership 'turn' the rotors (condition the rotors by cutting a very thin layer off each surface) when they installed the new pads? If the rotors weren't turned, they sometimes build will up a glaze or grooves on the surface which can cause the brakes to squeak. Can you tell if it is coming from the brakes that the dealership just replaced? If so and they turned the rotors, keep taking them back and complaining. If it's coming from the brakes they didn't replace, the rotors may need to be turned to de-glaze them. The only other thing I can think of is squeal shims. Often there will be pad shims or anti rattle clips installed to make the pads fit snugger into the calipers and avoid movement and squeaking. If these were originally there (sometimes they are not required and not OEM), and not re-installed when they changed the pads, that could be the problem as well. Good Luck and I'm sure you will get some other ideas. This is a super helpful forum for advice. :) Eric [/QUOTE]
