Brake Noise

[SB77]

So, I replaced my brake pads, drums, and cables with a complete kit i bought, everything seemed of decent quality. They were OK for a while, didn't seem to stop as much as I had hoped they would.

But then they started making noise.

I've read all the threads on here about brake noise I could find. One I read mentioned cleaning everything, so I did that, took everything off and hosed it all down with brake cleaner and compressed air, and to my surprise it worked, I was silent. And the brakes were working at least 25% better. For a few days. But the noise came back. The braking power is still increased over the pre cleaned brakes.

The noise is only there when I apply the brakes, no matter how hard or soft, and it is a softer squeak followed by a louder squeak - like a two note rhythm. Slower the cart is moving the longer the squeaks. It is only coming from one side.

Any ideas? Thanks.

take apart bad side and look for any shinny spots that might be rubbing....i have had to smear a little "sticky grease" on the backing plate where the shoes move in and out before to finally shut one up....clean , dry stuff squeaks , ....
i hate brake noise with a passion....
