Default brakes squealing

When I boughtmy 2000 Z71 the brakes squeaked,so i put some more on it and it stopped. But,now they are back. Does anyone know why its doing this and how to get it to stop for good. I know its not the tabs on the brakes.

Probably rust build-up on the rotors. If you have enough thickness, get them turned. If not, just throw some new ones on

Default RE: brakes squealing

just about every thing has metalic or semi metalic brake pad's and when you drive on them for a while ,the rotor's will flash rust especially when it is damp or winter time .and generally when you apply them a couple times it scrub's the rust off them, it's ok .if it does it all the time i would say the pad's are glazed ,they rotor's need to be turned or replaced , make suure they put a non directional surface on the rotor's ,good quality oem style semi metalic pad's ,and break them in correctly ! check with the manufacturer of the pad's ,or you owner's manual .i do not know how many people actually read it ,it has a lot of useful information in it .
