Terrible ceramic brake squeal only 5k old
Ok so I did some searching and I found that the brake pads I have are well not good Wagner thermo quiets are as quiet as Micheal Jackson dying. It seems to have gotten worse now that its colder here in Washington. Not only do I get some squeal while initially slowing down I now get a loud squeal stopping from 4mph and down its terrible and makes me want to punch babies. So question is since these brake pads are less then 5k old what should I do? Also these were all replaced at the same time with lube put in appropriate places.

My buddy says that because they are ceramics this is normal and annoying at least I guess I should pick a more driving friendly brake pad next time.lol

Check out this information. It is a great read, and might help answer your issue. I would suggest re-bedding them, since even if you bedded them in the first place, they may have been un-bedded through light use.

Read this whole article and watch the video. I bet re-bedding will solve your problem.
