where did you buy the CRC Disc Brake Quiet, ? COST? and how easy to use?

[coz]

i got mine at autozone years ago. it's only a few bucks per bottle. a bottle goes a long long way. it has an applicator tip built in. just follow directions on bottle. oddly enough, spyder brakes are very simple and easy to work on. at least the fronts are. i havent messed with the rear yet, it's still quiet.THANKS TO CHE57VY

I installed the generation 3 brake pads and the squeal went away. I forgot how bad it was until I heard all the squealing brakes at SITA.

Got tired of revisiting the CRC Treatment every time i road thru slush or deep puddles,
Put the gen 3 pads last summer quiet since then.

i hate to buy pads when the ones i have are still good and the crc is in my garage. dealer is thirty min. away. how much are gen 3 pads anyway? i will need them sooner or later.

Which CRC product did you use? The De-Squeak is a spray that is applied to the rotors. It needs to be reapplied periodically, more often after wet weather. The Disc Brake Quiet is a rubbery compound that is applied to the back of the pads, and in effect rubber coats them, similar to the Gen 3 pads. If properly applied and allowed to dry before the pads are installed, it is quite permanent, and does a good job.

I don't remember what they cost, It's been a while since i put them in, But it couldn't been too much or i would have remembered.
The numbers are ; Front 219800164 ;Rear 219800165, Worth every penny what ever the cost.

I had the squeeky brakes until I put on the 3rd gen brakes. After a couple of months..... oh my the squeek is WORSE than ever. It could wake up the dead. I only have it in reverse....!!

I used the liquid that comes in a 4 or 5 oz. bottle, like scotty said. it dries to a rubber like substance. it's a red- orange color so it's easy to see where your putting it.i've never used the spray, doesn't seem durable enough.

You brakes could just be dirty. A good cleaning can often cure this. The build up of brake dust limits the pad/caliper movemnet, causing enough play to set up vibration. It can also hang the pads up on the pins slightly, causing the same thing. The Gen 3 pads have a rubber backing, so they can't make noise where they touch the caliper pistons like the old ones did. The noise would have to come where they ride on the pins, or on the caliper flanges. These parts are supposed to slide, but don't do it as well when they get dirty.

I agree with Scotty, one other thing that occurs is the pins will wear with miles and the pads will bind on them.Replace the pins or try smoothing out the notches and apply a small amount of anti-seize on the pin.
