And to the OP: use brake anti-squeal rather than grease behind the pads. It's available from your local Kragen (etc.) It's tacky when applied and won't move around. And won't lubricate the surface of your brake pads if it does.

i was installing my axxis ultimate pads but they didn't come with the brake pad plates, i re used the ones on my front brakes, but the rear ones seem to be riveted into the old pads?

I would prefer it if someone can meet up with me to help me out, if possible. I am a hands on person so instructions online won't really help me since I need someone to physically be there showing me what I need to do.

I was also wondering that if I was to have used slotted rotors, do they need to be resurfaced before being installed?

I'll feed you if you help me lol.

Thanks in advance for all your help/input.

It might be some metal bits scraping each other and not worn-out brakes. You'll see the symptoms if this is the case.

I might be having the same problem again on my 02.
