Posts: 14 Gender:	Loud front disc brake when engaged at low speeds 02/13/11 at 16:36:27 Sounds kinda like screech/squeal almost like there is buildup on pad or disc. disc looks pretty clean though...1900ish mi 2007 s40 Kinda bothersome. Any suggestions ? Pads ? Maybe clean the disc rotor ? Thanks in advance - Christian

I can only assume they are stock. I'll give her a good scrubbing and maybe she'll quiet down. If not I may replace/upgrade the pads. - Christian

My 09 came with pads that made all manner of ugly sounds and did not stop the bike any to well. Luckly they wore out in only 2,300 miles I replaced them with DP brand pads which make very little noise, stop the bike very well and at 6000 plus miles look just about as thick as the day I put them in. Maybe if you are lucky yours will wear out as fast as mine did.

A set of EBCs from bikebandit.com are about $30 and thousands of times better.

I changed the pads last year for this reason but cheaped out and ended up with the same thing. LOL, mabey this year I'll put some good ones on and see if it goes away.

Got a set of an "X" brand from a fleabayer in florida, made with kevlar, stop like stock w/o the squeal and half the cost of EBC's.
