Dalai Lama Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hi I have a 1994 110 defender 300tdi The rear brakes squeal despite me replacing the disks and new pads. I have tried filing off the edge of the pads an adding more copper grease to the rear of the pads If i brake hard a few times the brakes stop squealing for a short while but then it returns. i find that the disks seem to squeal more when they are warm. However they do not squeal when i brake going around corners. The pads are locked in place by the usual pins with a split pin running through Anyone have any ideas Thanks Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
del Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Ive got a 1988 90 the rear passenger side disc squeeks and half locks up when I start a journey ,always in the winter every year without fail for the past 8 years ive had two differant mechanics look at the back brakes and they couldnt find what was causing it so ive just learnt to live with it !!!

bishbosh Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Have you got anti squeal shims fitted to the back of the pads? Did the trick for me...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilloverland Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I had this with my 110. The only thing that cured it was a replacement caliper, the face of the pistons wear and causes the pad to press the disc at an angle, creating vibration and the squeel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, please check they are right for your truck. They are what I have on a 92 RR and I think all rear calipers are the same.... ish... (!)

Dalai Lama Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Thanks I'll try the anti shims and if that doesnt work then a guess a new calliper Cheers Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petethepilot Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Naa, you don´t need new calipers, maybe new pistons but definately the shims. Had the same problem, new pads and dics and terrible squeeling...EBC pads came with self-adhesive anti-squeel pads, but that wasn´t enough with worn pistons. If you are replacing the pistons, then you could also try that self-adhesive stuff instead of the shims. You can buy that separately also.
