Squeeling from brakes after disks & pads replaced
Discussion
BMW 120d - E87 - Feb 2005 - 102k miles
Rear risks and pads were replaced in March when it had its MOT. Since they they've been squeeling at low speed, notably when NOT braking. You set off and the noise starts and then goes way as the speed builds up. I'm putting it down to the new disks and pads needing to bed-in, but my research suggests that this happens when braking. In my case it happens when not braking. The noise went away a while after the work was done but has returned in the last couple of days. Maybe the hot weather has caused everything to expand and closed the clearances that had built up as the parts bedded-in... or maybe it's something else.
