Brake anti-squeal goop actually works.

[gdawgs]

I replaced my front brake pads yesterday. As I recall, every time I have bought pads for any car, they always came with a small tube of that blue anti-squeal goop. The set I bought yesterday did not come with it, so I put it together without since I didn't have any, and I figured it probably didn't do that much anyway.

So I took it out for a test drive with my 7 year old daughter and they squealed like a pig. It was so bad it was actually embarrasing. My daughter's quote -- "Dad can you take me home? That noise is giving me a headache".

So we went to the auto parts store, bought a bottle of goop($5), and I tore them apart a redid the brakes using the goop. Now they are completely silent. I am now a believer in brake goop.

They sell it for a reason, I too have tried to cheat and had to go buy the stuff.

any pads/shoes ive bought never came with it and never bought it and never had any squeals????


which reminds me, need to do rear brakes on my 51 and check the truck and my taurus brakes

SYNTHETIC GREASE

I have used it for years
on the back of the pads and to lube the sliders and pins

never had a problem on mine or any car, period
