Default Squeeling From Right Front Tire

Hey Folks,

Recently replaced my brakes and rotors on my 07 1500 Hemi. Shortly after replacing them, there has been a metal on metal squeel/grinding noise coming from my right front tire. The noise is constant and stops if i apply the brakes.

I've taken it to the dealer, they can't find anything wrong. After doing some searches here could it be something as simple as not putting Anit Squeel Compond on the back of the brake pads?

Has anyone else experienced anything like this after replacing brakes and rotors?


Thanks for your time.

check the anti rattle clips and backing plate, make sure they are not touching. Disc brake quiet is a good idea.

I gave this same problem. The bolt backed out of the caliber and my anti rattle clips are f.ed up. These clips are like 6$ at autozone . easy to fix

You should always use Brake pad Lubricant everywhere the back of the pad touches the caliper. Brake pads vibrate causing the squeal, even the ones with shims. I think shims are a joke and really do nothing other than properly space the pads onto the rotor, so every brake job gets the lubricant! 1 pack per wheel.

Check your Rotor shield. It may be bent and touching your rotor, but I agree with the tab issue.
