SAW-GS Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Good morning All, I own a 1999 GS 300 in great shape. My brakes squeak constantly when I apply the brake pedal. I have taken it to two Lexus dealers and they both say nothing is wrong. Any ideas? It is embarassing. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordsvtmfl Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 i had the same problem, and i fixed it by taking apart and cleaning the pads and the "anti-squeal" spacers behind the pads, and then applying a decent amount of brake lubricant (i used 2 packs... .98 a piece) between all the spacers.

djspawn00 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 like they both said, a lil anti-squeal compound behind the pads goes a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip frank Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 can you detail exactly what to do? i have the same problem coming from the front pads and it is driving me crazy. are there supposed to be shims behind the front pads? i don't think there are any shims in mine. help please :cries: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakataj Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 ok calm down........lol jk its just a packet of grease essentially that you apply to the back of the pads! its supposed to help stop the squeals but if your pads are out that wont stop it!

"i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian i tried the grease with no help. the pads are fairly new. the shims are missing so i'll put them on first and see if that helps. next i'll change the pads with oem pads.
