New Brakes Problem
Yaris 2007 Hatchback with 78,000 Miles.
Okay so Ive had this problem for quite a while now where my Yaris brakes squeek and when I go into reverse and brake, it makes this weird and loud click sound. So i got new ceramic brake pads, got my rotors re-surfaced, replaced my rear shoes(w/e that means) and a few other things. I know im an idiot but i Paid $370 for all this and idk if that is a good price or not but from searching the internet and what not I seem to have overpaid. I know, im an idiot lol. Anyways, my new brakes seem fine but when i come to a complete stop it makes this weird and deep squeek/squel( its kind of saying "doo" with a really deep voice) and idk if this is normal or not. Can you guys be of assistance, i already think i overpaid and idk if this is normal or not. Gahhhd im so dumb. |

It's making that noise because the pads are new and it's gripping. Imagine Running your finger over a newly washed dish that's still wet. That's your brakes coming to a stop. When you finger hits the drier stuff it makes that squeak. That's what your brakes are doing as they get slower, they make a grippy deep squeak. I hope that made sense.

Oh, so theres nothing to worry about?
What about the price? is paying $370 for this normal or overpaid? I just dont want to feel like ive been taken advantage of since i know little to nothing about Cars. |

That's definitely a bit expensive.

May take longer than a few days. I got new rotors and pads at least 4 months ago and it still makes a small squeak right before I stop

Yeah but when i brake to a complete stop, it does this little grind that i could actually feel.
Hopefully this goes away when in the few coming weeks. I already overpaid, i just want to be happy with my car.(Sorry for the rant) |

the Loud Click that you hear is because the rotors are loose and not screwed to the hub
those screws are not necessary nothing to worry about |
