My experience is that I always had that happen with semi-metallic pads. I switched to ceramic years ago I haven't experience that issue since.

 

Try Raybestos EHT element 3 brake pads, a lots of great review and people praise is better than Akebono Pro-ACT. The friction code for front is GG and Rear is FF and is an hybrid meaning ceramic + semi-metallic technology combine together.

Those are the pads I used.

 

What brake pads and rotors did you use?
Did you replace and grease the pins properly? did you replace their boots? Did you bleed the brakes?

Squeaks are caused by lack of attention when doing the brake job and by using junk pads, not turning/replacing the rotors, .... attention to detail is a must.

 

Squeak/squeal can also be the shims and or rubbing of the pad itself with not enough grease. Easy things to fix first. I had this when I first started DIY and mechanic did not add proper grease between pad and shim. Saw that upon taking out for inspection. Shim got moved and was actually diagonal though brakes were working fine. At the time Added CRC orange stuff that says used to quiet shims. Never used that thing again. Since DIY, proper grease, cleaning, etc no issues. (Yeah, so mechanic did a worse job than me, go figure or "sigh").

When pads squeal on pad surface to rotor, have also noticed rotor surface not smooth and pad surface will show roughness consistent with it (like MountainHandyman mentioned semi-metallic pads). Better quality pads like Akebono do help and good rotors too. Better to check other hardware and rubber parts too that lead to this ... Grease, rust, etc all stuff Greasy mentioned above.

 

Fancy trying our pads? I could help you out with this and see what We can do for you...

 

Spray brake cleaner on pads and rotors. Relube the back of the pads and make sure the pins are greased and work freely. Go out and redo the bedding of the pads according to the procedure.

 

I did what you said to do and took the car for a test drive. The brakes are quiet now. Not even the slightest squeal or squeak.

 

But be careful, don't spray quiet lube on rotors to quiet noisy cheap brake pad. Here's an video Spencer The Mechanic, doing wrong and using the product on the wrong area to quiet the brake pads.

 

Use the OEM brake component that were engineered for the vehicle and you won't have a problem. Regards

 

"spray quiet lube" ? Havent heard of that, maybe I overlooked that thing on the shelf. Brake quiet was a tube of gel stuff. You have to remove the pad and apply that between pad and shim. After that it becomes hard and sticks the shim. Kinda like silicone adhesive in hardware store. Maybe next time I am in the store, I will check that out just for awareness. Good to know. Other than brake cleaner, I didnt know people spray something else on the rotor or contact surface of brake pad (which gets on when pad touches rotor). Ouch, I guess each to their own.

Edit: I see it when google. Ok I remember that now but didnt realize it lube stuff as that was right next to cleaner spray. Glad I was dumb in that sense. Wonder if I would have tried that many years ago when started DIYing. Glad I didnt. Haha
