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.

If the pads are o.k. then yes, you need the disc brake quiet goo applied.

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

Lubricant should be a high temp silicone based lube designed for brakes. Make sure NONE gets on the brake pad material. A little lube goes a LONG way!

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

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

Use Molybidium high pressure grease (dark grey color, almost black). Apply to all caliper and piston contact surfaces of the pads (left & right edges and the back).
