"Rear Brake Pads Problems on 1997 Volvo 850"

1997 Volvo 850 Sedan

I just have to put rear brake pads on my 97 Volvo 850 Sedan. When I go to drive it and I go to brake both of the rear brakes squeak very loudly. But 10 minutes later, they do not squeak. It is as if the brake fluid is not always to the rear brakes. Brake fluid is full. Would this problems caused by rotors or could be the mechanic put the wrong pads in or other things it could be?

Answer: Most likely it is caused by cheap breaks that need to warm up. Racing breaks need to warm up before they stop squeaking too. You could try putting anti-squeak behind the pads but that’s usually if the pad are squeaking when they are warm. Try seating them good. Go down the road at about 50 then get on them hard to drop to about 20 and do it hard, not hard enough to lock up though. Do this about 10-20 times then drive on them easy this might work.
