2010 Nissan Altima brake noise repair in Ann Arbor MI

This 2010 Nissan Altima had brake noise after the brake pads were replaced less than one year ago by another brake service shop. We did a brake inspection and found the shop did a low quality brake pad install and didn't lubricate any of the new parts.

 

Nissan Altima brake noise diagnosis

Brake pads and brake rotors look serviceable but brake pads and brake hardware were not lubricated when new parts installed. Everything is dusty dry... and squeak when used.

 

Nissan Altima brake noise repair

Brake pads and brake caliper mounting hardware cleaned and lubricated. If you look close the dark lubricant can be seen where all parts contact. This ensures the brakes apply and release evenly on both sides which prevents pulling when the brakes are applied, vibration of the brake pads, and brake drag which causes brake noise and increased fuel consumption.
