Good Day John,
I spoke with you 2-3 weeks ago about squaling rear brakes and you suggested that the noise was probably coming from the front disc brakes. The noise could be eliminated by taping duct tape to the back side of the pads which I did. Unfortunately the squeal was not totally eliminated although the squal was less pronounced. I should add that the noise was gone when the brakes were hot.

Not completely satisfied with this fix, I found a Permatex product that claimed to eliminate disc brake squeal. Called "Ultra Disc Brake Lube" it is a synthetic lubricant used to lubricate pins, slides, bushings, pistons, rubber sleeves and seals. ALSO PREVENTS DISC SQUEAL. At $1.49 a package, I gave it a try and so far, it is working well.

I thought I would pass this information on. Thanks for your help and advice. It is always well received.

Best Regards
Ron
