I just put on new brake pads and new rotors. Rebuilt the brake calipers, and cleaned out a little rust that was in the bores. But now as I am driving the brakes will start to squeal. As soon as I start putting pressure on the brake pedal the squeal goes away. Also the squeal is worse turning left than right and as my speed increases the squeal seems to quiet down. So I am stumped I can't figure out why it is doing this. It is a 1989 Dakota 4x4.


Thanks,

Sounds like one of them is dragging. Isolate if its front or rear and check for one thats hot during driving. Dont touch the rim but put your hand close to it and if one is hanging up youll know right away.

 

I think its the front passenger side that is dragging. So I guess the fix is a new caliper?
