Really terrific teaching video! Things you show here are memorable -- even years after first viewing. Example: You vividly demonstrate what a warped rotor's irregular contact with pads will both look and sound like! (not so much a squeak -- as an rhythmic rubbing sound) Have this exact problem now with an older Saturn -- and your video here is the only one I ever saw that both explained and demonstrated just what the problem is. Thank you Chris.

I have a 2007 Hyundai Sonata limited. My car wasnt squeaking until ive recently changed my rotor on front right. After Ive changed that side been squeaking often i dont know what it is causing that. It mainly will start after i hit a bump then it starts and even gets louder with i curve left. Stops only when i hit on the brakes. Dont think its the pads cause ive check them and looks good do you know what it could be? chrisfix

I have a question! My 2015 Hyundai Elantra was making a weird Squeaking noise on the right side but only after driving for a good 30 minutes on at freeway speeds (70-80) I switched out the breaks and still made the noise so I switched out the rotor. It still feels like its doing the same thing. Im not sure what it could be. I also made sure I had no air leaks or anything else please help.

Dude, you have taken me to a new level of car repair. I am 46, and I remember getting the Chiltons out. You are saving American men and women and families thousands/millions of dollars in car repair! I am a teacher, and you have a natural teaching ability. I share your links with other car repairers in my family. I think I read you have a degree in Marine Bio. Cool!
Thanks so much!

ChrisFix - I drive a 2015 Ford F150 and park in a narrow driveway. I never hear my brakes squeak, except for when I'm backing out of my driveway. I tend to backup more cautiously to avoid hitting anything (Driveway is curved and there is another car I pass while backing out, but this is when my brakes sound off the most. Any advice?

Dont forget to mention that different types of break pad material can cause breaksqueeling. I drive a heavy car which uses semi-metallic pads. Could not find out why my rear breaks where making a high pitch squeel noise even though they still had 50% padlife. I replaced them with copper-free ceramic pads and noise is gone!

I really needed this video for my car, i've taken it to literally 4 worshops but none of them were able to figure out why the brakes were squeaking, specially since i'd just gotten the front brake pads changed and the whole car serviced. Thankyou so much, this video's given me things to get checked more properly.

I learned a lot trying to change my own brake pads. Had to buy a new breaker bar to take off the nuts that were like welded into the wheel but the whole experience was awesome. Thank you very much and please teach us how to change the timing belt of a 94 corolla seca next if you can HaHa. Cheers.

Hi Chris - 2012 Hyundai Genesis Sedan 3. 8L - #1: Brakes squeak after car has been sitting and there is moisture in the air or it's raining. Had 2 shops do fixes but the problem persists #2: Had the catalytic converter replaced 8 months ago and I smell exhaust fumes coming through the air vents

i dont think the copper /graphite example you showed is apt
The particles are already fine why would they crush or yield, it has something else to do
also graphite is good at high temperatures, so it doesn't silcion gel unless graphite compound properties change wrt temperature
