Noisy Squeaky Glazed Brakes Rotors - How To Quick Diagnose and Fix - Squeak When Brake is Released

[@user-sh9gj6mw7n]

Thank you! This is the same problem that I'm having.

[@Bat0541]

I've been telling my mechanic I have been having this sound basically since my last brake change, but the sound isn't a constant, and I've never been able to actually show them the sound, because of course when I go to see them the car doesn't make it, but when I'm NOT seeing my mechanic its so loud I feel like I'm waking up half the neighborhood on my way to work. So they just say they will check it out whenever I bring my car in for something else, last time they were saying that its probably a serpentine belt, but I knooow it's something with the brakes. I am SO thankful for this video, because it's the only one that has had the exact sound I have had, as well the fact that it stops when the brake is applied. Usually a hard brake will make the sound dull or stop for a time. So at least now I can show the mechanic the sound if nothing else.

did you fixed it?

[@Reynosorex]

The same thing happened to me and it was caused by a bent "Brake Backing Plate", try checking that out befoe replacing rotors and breakepads. Hope that helps.

[@GoldenGunGamingYT]

Hi I had this same noise while driving not braking. I have replaced the brake caliper and it has stopped.

[@shawnalajame7888]

Same.

[@Pllutus]

I love you bro! I've been trying to figure out the sound for 2 days, and it's only when I relalized that the sound was spinning with the wheel that it may be the rotor and not the just the breaks needing to be replaced. That's when I went to google, found your video, and heard the most satisfying chirping I've ever heard. It's the exact same sound, and I'm taking my car to the mechanic tomorrow to get the breaks and rotors replaced. Thanks a ton!

[@bbaaspencer1]

I been a mechanic for over 40 years and you need to resurface the rotors on a brake pad change . I did a test to others to prove my point. I took a 2014 Cruze and pads were almost worn out and rotor still looked new. I checked the runout on the rotor and one side was 5 thousandth and the other side was 8 thousandth, then changed only the pads and let’s my doubters drive the car. Everyone of them said they felt a vibration or shutter when they braked. I removed the rotors and had them turned at an auto parts store and got new brake pads and let my doubters drive the car again! They drove the car again and were blown away how the turned rotors produced no vibration or shutter in the steering wheel!

[@JSTTAARRKK]

bro still to this day bro your helping people with this one my car just started making this sound and your the only person to have the same exact sound

[@heatherm503]

I’m hoping this is my issue. Noise increases when turning wheel slightly to the left or right but gone when in full turn or just idling. Bought the car today and it started this evening 😢. Didn’t do it when test driving, but brakes hadn’t warmed up yet. They did just replace rear pads and rotors. It’s so great you take the time to reply to comments even way after original post. Thanks for making these vids!

[@BudgetMechanicHawaii]

Yes I would inspect the front brakes too for glazing etc. Thanks for watching!

[@jabrilosman818]

Thank you so much! I notice this sound when I was cruising at 10-20 mph on a flat street but the sound would go away when I was on the highway or when I’m at 0 mph. Just bought my car and got it inspected twice and it was all good but this is a new sound I heard a few days ago. Will get my brake pads replaced!!

[@JimPerkins299]

did you figure it out ?

[@mahaimao]

exactly the same. i changed pads 3 months ago. After the car heats up, the noise is most noticeable between 10 to 20 kilometers per hour, but it's less pronounced at high speeds. Do you know why now?

[@leevespa4564]

Thank you...thought my bearings had gone....but it sounded exactly the same...so fingers crossed its my pads...well done mate from the uk 👍🏻

[@crestfall4]

so did you fix it?

[@TonyS18153]

@@crestfall4Yes, it was due to the rust built up on the outer part of my rotors making contact with the brake shield. I bent my brake shield back a bit temporarily which seem to help. Then I swapped the rotors and pads for new ones and the noise never came back.

[@JasonLuther1]

Nice video man, I had my own assumptions with my 1998 Saab 900. Just heard the chirping noise when I was rolling in first gear. Lifted my front end and shook the tires and checked my cv boots. No play in the bearing and the axles were still in great shape. The pads are probably at 60% and the rotors are in decent shape. I had never considered the glazing of the rotor to create an audible chirping noise. I just got the vehicle and it's at about 70k miles with pretty much all OEM parts. I almost made a rookie mistake and loaded the parts cannon. Thanks dude

[@pandajc8]

The exact same noise my dodge Durango is having, Its driving me crazy. Will be replacing the brake pads this weekend. Video was so helpful.

Rotors don’t cost that much I don’t know what you mean by buttload of money depending on where you go and what car you got

[@mindyanna17]

Finally found the sound! Lmao my front passenger tire only makes the noise when my wheel is straight, & it stops when I turn the wheel in either direction & apply the brakes. I never thought about it only happening when it gets warm. But that makes soo much sense since it seems to happen a good 10-15mins down the road.. I don't go far & barely drive anywhere I try to make one trip every week or 2 weeks.. but now I know what to tell my mechanic 😅 & living in Pennsylvania I know all about the hills lol Thank you soo much for this video every other video on youtube was a different squeak lol

[@charles3974]

@@BudgetMechanicHawaii I just finished fixing it. In the process, I also changed the brake pads. I also noticed that there was a small brake clip stuck on the caliper bracket. I think that's what misaligned the brake pad. So it kept on grinding on the rotor. Went out for an hour drive and bingo! The noise went away and still no noise at all. Thanks again

I brought my car to the local mechanic and my right front wheel squeaks. That was done yesterday brand new rotors and brand new very expensive brake pads. A hundred and seventy dollars worth of work. I called this morning and they're not answering the phone. I'm going to drive down there. Brand new brakes, brand new Rotors. I did not notice it until hours later when I had to take a ride somewhere . I used to do my own breaks. But now that I'm older. I do not have the facility or tools. So now I rely on mechanics. That is going to change. For 200.00 I could have bought a whole toolbox and jack stands and did it myself.

[@patriciocastillo6480]

This video was extremely helpful, thank you!!!

[@loriannrimarcik9172]

This was so helpful! My car is making that exact noise. So are you saying in this case you didn’t need rotors, only pads?

[@jamilgotcher5456]

Lori, I think I read that if the rotors only have some wear that new brakes will fill in the grooves, if the grooves aren't too deep.

[@TheRealChuckNorris]

Abrasive Friction: Abrasive friction involves breaking the crystalline bonds of both the pad material and the cast iron of the disc. Breaking these bonds generates the heat of friction. In abrasive friction, the bonds between the crystals of the pad material (and to a lesser extent, the disc material) are permanently broken. The harder material wears the softer away, meaning the disc wears the pad. Adherent Friction: When brake pads press against the surface of the steel disc, some of the pad material transfers directly to the surface of the disc forming a thin, uniform layer. The surface of the steel disc and the surface of the brake pad become identical in composition. As the disc moves between the pads, friction material transfers in both directions, breaking and reforming bonds at the molecular level.. The question is... what caused the glazing in the first place? I'd begin my investigation with the caliper pins beginning to stick not backing the pads off wjen you release the brake pedal. Considering the noise goes away when more force is applied proves that the pads are in fact still lighty contacting the rotor.. extra drag warms pad and rotor causing thermal expansion. Extra force applied going down hill gives it the extra heat it need to remain hot by constant contact.. rotor cannot shed its heat and warps. .

Almost a year ago I bought new Hyundai and it is my first car with automatic transmission (torque converter). From first day brakes squeaks when I in D or R slowly releasing brakes in order to slowly start moving, or in short moment prior to stop. They told my that this is normal for automatic transmission because in D or R car is pushing to move, so if brakes is slowly releasing but still touching wheels that cause that sound. But I can't believe that nothing can be done in this case. I ask some people and some told me that they have the same experience, with other brands too (even Mercedes and Audi), but some told me that they never had this experience with different cars with automatic transmission. Can you please tell me your experience with this, and your advice about what can be done about this? I have discs in the front and drums on the back.

I hear a similar grinding sound that seems to be coming from my front left tire, but it's only when I start driving, it goes away after a few minutes, and sometimes it doesn't do it at all. I guess I'll check the pads and go from there.

[@triplecgoinplaces]

I have this same problem, but it strangely only emerged right after replacing pads and rotors, and there’s no hardware touching either. It sounds like window cleaner being rubbed on glass very hard times 100 in volume. And it gets worse if weight is transferred onto that wheel, so while turning right it’s most prevalent, and under braking as well. Coming from the drivers front wheel.
