Nothing seems to make any difference either with trying to bring the position of the inboard pad lower as it makes contact, or the squealing itself. And it's new so nothing is contaminated and I've used alcohol on everything just to be sure.

I've tried the sanding the rotor and pads trick. I have played around with different pad adjustments as well as caliper alignment. I say this because the while a similar thing is happening on the rear rotor, it is not quite as pronounced (ie, the inboard pad side seems to be hitting a smidge more square on, and does not squeal). The marks end further inward toward the centre of the disk on the outboard pad side, than on the side where the inboard pad hits it.īecause of the way the brake works (bending the rotor at an angle as it is pushed into the stationary inboard pad), this would make sense to me as the very top of the rotor hits the inboard pad, and because of the angle, leaves a gap lower down. Notice the marks where the pad material has transferred onto the rotor in each picture. The following image is of the drive side of the front disc rotor (where the rotor is pressed into the inboard pad.) The following image is of the non-drive side of the front disc rotor. As I tried to bed in the brakes, the front one squeals quite heavily, the back does not.
