Default chirping Breaks (ANNOYING!)

My breaks chirp like birds constantly going any speed over 35. I had my front rotors turned a while back but that diddnt help, and I have about 3 month old rear rotors and pads(new all around). Its just so annoying driving and hearing them for chirp non stop I think im going crazy.

any replies would be great

thanks

Spray wd40 where the rears of the brake pads touch the caliper. The contact point is a culprit for squeaking. Use the straw attachment and spray all the moving parts, make sure you don't get it on the rotors or braking surface of pads. Make sure you do many test stops after doing this to make sure you don't have slippery stuff on your rotors.

im not sure if i would use WD-40 to lube anything with. i usually use it as a last resort in the field. use some silicone. just go to autozone and look for it. some of the **** is made specifically for this problem.

Does it go away when you are light on the brakes?

No it actually increases when i barely put force the breaks, apply more force and then the sound stops.

they make a purple gel at autozone that u put on the calipers, it works pretty good, along with a brake dust cleaner
