Installed my CST spindle lift and I'll admit, I probably did a poor job making sure I got all the fingerprints/crap off the pads/rotors before buttoning it all back up. Now, I'm getting some squeeking during light braking. I has gotten better but still exists, mostly when I'm casually slowing like approaching a stop sign. If I late brake and brake a little harder, it passes the "squeak zone" and stops fine.
What could it be besides contamination of the pads/rotors? It's been about 500 miles since the install and it got much better the first week but now it's happerning about 50% of the time I'm light braking.
What if I was to take the rotors off and give them a quick sand with some light grit just to rough em up and sand a fine layer off the pads, clean it all with brake clean and put it back together?
any other thoughts? There is plenty of pad left, I only have 13K miles on the truck.
