Squeaking brakes

My brakes squeak almost every time I stop. They have done this for years, in spite of multiple visits to mechanics. Some think it's dust and blow them out but it doesn't help. They probably have half the pads still, and it seems that they do it less in warmer weather and stop an i press harder as i finally come to a stop. Any advice?

 

Metallic dust can sometimes cause squeeking. You could try removing the pads and sanding them a little. Sometimes that helps.

But frankly....if you're going to the trouble to remove them you might as well replace them with some new ceramic pads. They tend to be quieter

 

He is right on it!
Metallic Pads are your issue, they are fine... Turn that radio up!

 

New ceramic pads, lube the back of the pads and clean and lube the slide pins. Problem solved.

 

OP, you mention in the thread about the Superior helper springs that you could use some experience wrenching on things. Here is your chance for a simple fix. Do as Bebop said, new pads, lube the back, and reassemble. See the DIY thread here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/how-to-change-front-brakes-pads-and-rotors.353082/ Takes maybe an hour and all you need are basic hand tools.

I recommend getting new pins, and assuming your truck is a 6 cylinder 4x4, the Duralast Gold brake pads are inexpensive and decent. I'm using other pads now, but have used them on a couple different trucks and was completely satisfied.
