CRC disk brake grease?

xstuntman · 06-30-2022, 09:22 PM

Need some advice.
The Suburbans front discs got new pads since the old ones were getting noisy with 25% remaining. The new pads after 5 months started squealing so I sprayed the candy apple colored disc brake quiet on the back side of the pads which worked for four-ish months. Squealing again now under light braking with probably 6K around-town-only miles

Everythings moving and working; nothing's hung up so I was thinking on the brake grease (which seems any oxymoron) might be better. Never used brake grease but watched some 'tube videos so it's not rocket science.

Yeah, nay?
Just turn up the stereo?
Very frustrating...

Use it on the back of your pads where there is metal contact along with slides use sparingly it does work.

I usually use brake grease and it might help your problem. But it may also be an issue with the pads and/or rotors. What pads did you use? You said 5 months of use but how many miles? Did you install new rotors or have the old ones turned?

Quick update:

Always running the AC here due to triple digits and couldn't here an air blowing noise until it got MUCH louder. The brake booster diaphragm was leaking for awhile apparently and was progressively getting worse, then suddenly. Drive home Friday was interesting.

R and R'ed the booster Saturday and 90% of the noise is gone. The biggest problem was getting one locally.
Darn supply chain issues.
