Brakes squeaking after car spin?
Last week i replaced all 4 tires and all 4 shocks on my car. It's a good thing I did, because this week, some douchebag decided to run a stop street and I landed up spinning my car trying to avoid hitting him. I didn't (thank God)....But since then, whenever I brake coming up to a stop, my brakes squeak.. but not normal breaksqueak.. I'ts like a pained noise.. like a calmer version what my tires sounded like when I spun.
I have no idea what's going on, I spent a shitload replacing everything, what could be wrong now?

since it was so recent, just go back to the shop and tell them the story. its 5-15 mins to check/clean/reassemble the front pads.. maybe they didnt seat the pad spring properly, OR a tiny bit of rust from the rotor edge made its way between the pad/disc (totally aceptable, it happens and not a problem, just annoying). maybe they can clean the front pads out with some brake cleaner / compressed air for free since u paid them so well :) if u DO in fact have a tiny piece of grit between rotor and pad they might still be able to wipe it clean

when you spun out you held on your breaks, so it could be that you might have hot spots on your rotors i am sorry to hear bout the douche bag, the shop my not help you due to that you didnt have work done on the breaks hope it turns out ok for you
