new brake pads noisy

Oct 17, 2011 3 Replies

Recently I had some new brake pads put on the front of a 2002 Corolla. A couple of hundred miles later, when braking fairly gently we get a noise like a high pitched ship fog horn. When braking more firmly there is no noise. But in stop/start traffic it can get on everyones nerves.



Is there something I can do to remedy it please?


Coppaslip on the back of the pads where they touch the pistons. Just the tiniest, thinnest smear.
