Front wheel squeaking

[SedanMan]

I just installed some new brembo plain rotors and hawk hps pads in the front. I also changed brake fluid to some valvoline dot4. I am getting a reallly annoying squeaking whenever I am NOT applying the brakes from the front driver's side. I tried using white grease on the pad sliders, but that only helped for about 24 hours.

Any ideas as to what might be causing this? I am only getting this noise on the drivers side which is weird.

My stock brakes make lots of noise (when they were new). I could always hear them when I had the windows down. It wasn't just rust, because I could still hear them when I was about to turn off the car.

Aggressive pads will usually make some noise, because there's some pressure applied when the pedal isn't applied.

I wouldn't be worried about the noise, unless it's completely different between the passenger and driver sides. Then I'd check the install.

If nothing else, let them break in for a bit and see if it continues. The worst case scenerio is a groove in your rotors.

The sound is completely different from one side to the other. I feel like Im driving a beater the way it is now.


What else needs lubricating apart from the sliders?

you should also lube where the pads rest, and also the back of the pads isn't a bad idea either
