1994 Honda Accord Brake noises

Noises problem
1994 Honda Accord 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 190K miles

I am hear this high pitch noise mainly when I start my car, begin accelerate then come to a complete stop. The noise goes as I ride the brake by coming to a complete stop but after I accelerate more I dont hear it anymore. I also hear it when I travel a far distance and then use my brakes. I check my brake pads and my rotors and their both good.

Sometimes semi-metallic brake pads and shoes due tend to squeel. This is most likley what you are in-countering. To solve this, try to service the brake pads and rotors by scuffing up the friction surfaces with sand paper. Also make sure the shims are still installed on the pads.
