I put new ceramic brakes on last Decemeber and now I have a HORRIBLE screeching/squealing noise when I depress the brakes. Could this be the rotors or is it definately the brake pads? If I need to replace the pads what are the best pads on the market right now? I need NO noise, little to no brake dust, and most importantly NO NOISE!!! ANy suggestion should help. Thanks

 

i've read good things on here on carquest blue pads, but don't have first hand experience with them yet

 

Ceramic pads are harsh on rotors. I would go with either Carquest Blue Semi Metallics or Wagner Thermo Quiets. Both are very good pads with little dust output.

 

check out the Adaptive One Hybrid Ceramic Pads from napa
they are a gr8 pad set...i run them on my trucks

I'm a Carquest blue semi-metallic poster child, nothing but good results. I am trying their ceramics right now on the rear and so far, a few hundred km's, they are great.

Stoptech Slotted rotors and centric posi quiets. I have heard only great reviews from customers, and I just installed these on my truck on friday. I took a road trip towing a 16 foot dual axle trailer with a buggy/camping gear/firewood on it with my ranger and it stopped GREAT with NO trailer brakes. I love my new rotors and pads and highly recommend them.

 

I think the majority is carquest Blue. I can't afford rotors right now, and hopefully the ones I have on there are okay for now. I'm just surprised that my brakes went out within 6 months. I don't remembe rwhat brand they were, but they were about $80 for all 4. I'll try the carquest blue and see how they do. Any places you guys know of to get it for cheap"?

 

So I buy some of my stuff from RockAuto and found their prices and service to be great. If anyone has the time and can help me out I don't know which one of the brakes I need on the following page. I heard that Raybestos makes the Carquest blues and on the page linked below there's about 30 different types and I ahve not idea the difference in them. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I have a 2004 F150 Fx4 crew cab 4wd. I think I just need the front ones replaced right now.
