I've been doing brakes for a couple years on my own vehicles as well as family and friend's cars. This is the first time I've used ceramic pads on my 2000 Cherokee. They are Hawk Performance ceramics, and have been on there about 6 months. The rotors were also replaced with new rotors from NAPA at the same time. The pads were bedded in according to the directions. The stopping power is much better than OEM brakes and I'm very pleased with them. They have been whisper quiet until a few weeks ago. Lately they are either whisper quiet or squeal loudly.
Everything looks good upon inspecting them. Is this normal with ceramic pads? Is there something I can do to make them squeal less? I'd really hate to take them off since they work so well.
