Default front right break squeaking

i have noticed the front right break squeaks in the morning and sometimes even after the car has fully warmed up. it seems like the way i depress the break pedal causing the squeak. it has been going on for a few weeks already. taking it in when i have time next week. can anyone shine some light before then?

the car only has 27000 miles, and i dont track or do crazy driving by any means. 0 mods to the car.

Thanks

you have the sport brake? if so, those brakes (like bbk's) like short and firm braking vs long wimpy braking.

i suggest you replace the pads and put brakequiet (crc) on the back.

my G's brembo squeaked like a damn rat with is butt caught in the conveyer belt until i got some new pads from endless and used brakequiet.

I am having the same problem, usually in the morning.

I took it to the dealership cause i thought i need new pads but the tech inspected them and say i have 70% and 90% left (even after 18k miles)

I will have to take them apart and inspect it myself

I had my rear right brake squeaking, the factory grease on the slide pins and spring clips was very gunked up and sticky. I cleaned it off and applied some new brake lubricant sparingly to the slide pins and the spring clips where they contact the pad hangers and haven't had a issue since.

i took it to the dealership right before they closed today and the service adviser said i have 60F and 40%R left. he said squeaking is very normal on nissan products and it wouldnt hurt or break anything if i just left it alone. he also said more than likely the break pads are "I forgot the term", and a break service or some heavy long distance breaking would take care of it. And squeaking is not covered under warranty.

guess will leave it alone

i bet this is the fix, i changed mine out yesterday and they havent sqeaked since. The pads werent in need of replacement, but we did them anyway. Noticed i did have some gunk and a proper cleaning and re-grease may have solved issue w/out having to get new pads.
