Hello,
I have a 92 Accord that has a pretty loud squealing coming from the front wheels as I go down the road. I had my Honda guy take a look and he said the brakes look fine so that rules out the wear indicators. He did say that somtimes the pads continue to touch the rotors while going down the road. The squealing starts up at around 30 mph and goes away with the lightest push on the brake pedal. The sound also comes and goes going around curves. I'm thinking maybe wheel bearings. Any thoughts on my mystery noise? Thanks.

 

Take the brake pads out, chamfer the edges with a rough file then rub the pads on concrete in figure 8's until the surface is all dull, reinstall, should be good to go OR buy quality pads. Wear a mask to keep from breathing the dust, tends to stick in your throat for days.

 

Doesn't it have asbestos in it? Not good for the lungs (mesothelioma so I've been told)

 

if pads are not worn down to wear bar,, install Honda pads and resurface the frt rotors ( if thick enough ) ..
I have found that many non-honda brand pads will cause noise .( grinding, squeaking, growling squeeling etc etc )
The idea of removing them and sanding them down is a good one BUT a temporary one .. I have done it many times but noise will come back eventually..
If you got no or little money, wait till the pads are worn and time to replace them, then use some honda pads and machine or replace the rotors
if you got lots of money OR cannot stand the noise, then replace pads, machine rotors ( or replace rotors if too thin ) and make sure to use honda factory pads

And on the last note::: Please input year , model , engine, tranny info in your signature .. Thank-you
