With what and where to grease brakes to stop squeaking?
My front passenger side brakes are making a squeaking noise.
The squeaking noise is intermittent and gets worse with speed although it goes away at high speeds.
I've also noticed that sometimes when I push the brake pedal, it sounds like the pistons are squeaking as they clamp and let go.
My rotors are not warped and my pads are evenly worn.
I think the brake system is in need of lubrication (car is over 100k) but I'm not sure exactly where I should put some grease and with what type of grease I should use.
Can someone show me where and recommend a lubricant?
Thanks

anti-squeal (damnit, spelling always gets me) it goes between the back of the pad and the shim.

Rep Power: 363 pull the caliper bolt on the bottom loose, raise it up and remove the metal shim on each pad then apply the anti-squeal *sp goo should be good to go then

Lubricate #14 where the pads slide on the shims
Lubricate #13/18 where it slides in and out of the bracket
Lubricate #10 where it contacts the back of the brake pad
Lubricate #6/7 the 2 ears that contact the other brake pad on its back
IMO the stuff the above people are talking about is CR@P and very sledome gives positive results

Rep Power: 0 the best thing to do is take white litium grease and coat the entire brake assembly with it, the rotors the pads everything. then drive immediatly to 145mph towards a cliff then immedialty slam on the brakes if you stop, well your problems fixed, if you dont stop, well your problems have just began.
( please dont really do this i dont want you to die haha)
anti squeal on th backs of the pads works wonders, or greasing those number 13 thru bolts helps sometimes
