Re: Advise need on brake noise and brake kit
i somewhat accept this explanation but the 'issue' does not happen to everyone. why?
only happen when either the hub-rotor-wheel is not perfect
a. imperfect wheel hub centric?
b. poorly made rotors?
c. poorly made wheel?
since in this case the rotors and brake pads are oem. the problem lies with (a) and (b) ?

Yet another effect is the hub-rotor-wheel interface itself. The squeaking happens because the pads vibrate against the rotors, but the rotors are connected to the hub and the hub is connected to the wheel. As the mass distribution changes, so does the fundamental resonant frequency. Perhaps you just hit the sweet spot with the bigger rims.
