Ok, I have a 02 Cavalier Ls Sport, and installed my D-specs w/ B+G sport Springs around 3 months ago... everything seemed nice and I like the D-specs, but not the BOUNCE, BOUNCE, BOUNCE, and so on and so forth, but I choose performance over comfort so I guess I have to live w/ it. Anyways, I changed my brakes and rotors last week and in the process I inspected the struts and w/ the wheel on ,I shook the wheel and notice that the front passenger side strut had some play in it (movement, loose,etc...) So the next day I took it back to the shop to have them look at it, and the mechanic told me that he fixed the problem, he said that the washers that was use the first time had somehow got loose ( I had to use washers for the front struts w/ the B+G springs b/c with the springs compressed to the strut and strut mount, you could still push down on the strut plate and there was alot of play) so the washers fixed the problem.....Anyways, he said he putted in a new washer and tighten everything up checked the strut mount to make sure it was tight and said that he didn't mess with the alignment??? So I guess he putted in the washer from the strut tower, b/c I saw a big washer on top, where the adjuster is (to set your setting from firm to soft).... Make sense??? So, after I got my car back I notice that once in a while when I turn to the right into a driveway or something and at the same time pressing on my brakes, theres a sqeeuking noise coming from the front passanger side where the problem was. Any IDEAS????? Oh yeah, my brand new brakes (Raybestos Quiet Stop Ceramic Pads) and new rotors are working well, but I noticed that when I come to a full stop every now and then I'll hear a eeacc or a quick squeeking noise, why is that??? But it did the same thing with the old pads and rotors, every now and then, oh by the way I got 53,356 miles out of the stock pads and rotors and probably would of gotten another 5,000 plus more miles out of it, but didn't have anything to do so I decided it was about time to change it before the winter comes. Sorry about the long a$$ post, I didn't mean to write my whole life story.........
Its not just the brakes wearing in? I really have no idea, not an expert on brakes - I'm sure someone on here can help you. Maybe Wild Weasel if hes around, he seems to be good with brakes as well as suspension.
Did you use the brake grease included on the back of the pads?? All ceramic pads must have that brake grease or they will squeek. Don't get it on the pad material itself. And no it is not normal grease, it's special, and cheap enough you need to do it the right way.
If you used the grease properly, it's probably just the break in, should go away within 3 weeks (use them gently during this time!). Or your can bed them, to get the process done in a short time.
