New Brake Pads making alot of noises

(1/3) > >>

sengkang:
Hi, I went to AMK Autopoint & replaced mergent brake pads (Metallic) for my Latio in early June 08. After the installation, I drove off but realised that whenever I braked or moved off, i always hear braking noise like whenever we go for a manual carwash, there is this noise that will go off when our brakes are dry.
I decided that give the brake noise to wear for a week but it was still there all the time. Being fedup, I went back to the workshop again to complaint abt the noises. The workshop owner took the brakes out & told me that my brakes have slanted, meaning that my rotors are slanted.
(My Latio is 2 yrs 4 mths old) He then tooks both brakes & file them, hoping to resolved the noises I was complaining. We went for test drive but noise problem still remains. The workshop owner told me that there is no guarantee abt brake noises. But I have changed brakes b4 but neve encounter these brake noise problems. Now I am still getting these noises for 5 months.
I sent my Latio for service & asked them to check my brakes. They commented that it is ok.
Last week, I called the brand, Mergent distributor & spoke to the sales lady, she commented that it must be the rotor & not the brakes. I asked Hussien (Former TC foreman), he said I shoudnt have used metallic brake pads but the lady from Mergent told me its never the metallic type issue. So now I am confused. The noise problem is the brakes or the rotor?
Wont want to change rotor & still did not resolve the braking noise issue. :crycry:
Can anyone enlighten me on this problem. I am really bearing with the brakin noises.

rocket:
better use Nissan original parts, no such issue.
remeber last time my friend used 3rd party brake pads on his corrolla, very cheap, but a lot of metallic powder on the rims. :crycry:

iwilly:
mayb can change another type of brake pad to test it out.

clarence:
If your brake rotor is damaged, you can send it back to Tan Chong to get a replacement set since your car is still under warranty.

However, I am unsure if Tan Chong will honour their warranty for this, as you have used after market, non original brake pads.
