Before anyone wants to choke me, I did a search and I didnt see this asked. I recently put on new rear brakes. As per several posts on here I applied silicone grease, but my brakes are now squeeling very loud now whenever I first start to apply my brakes. I get some pretty strange loosk when I am am just coming to a rolling stop and press on the brakes. It sounds like an 18-wheeler stopping. My question is has anyone used the silicone spray for this? Do I need to just put a large amoutn of grease on? I had two small little packets when I changed the brakes out. The sound is just killing me. Appreciate the help.

 

Squealing is typical for Volvo's.

See what Tech says.

 

Bet you did not use OEM pads. I've been driving Volvos since 1985 and I never have brake squeal. Well once I did, so I took the aftermarket pads off and put on OEM. Problem solved.

 

What Brand pads did you use?
