So I just had the front brake pads replaced on my '95 Accord DX and now
there is a rather annoying and repetetive creaking noise that occurs when
lightly tapping on the brake. Important to note that I never had this
noise prior to the pad replacement.

My mechanic tells me that it could be the rotors causing the problem, but
I get the sense this a guess.

Any light that could be shed on this?

Many thanks in advance.

Lump of rust / grunge between the wheel hub and rotor puts rotor WAY out
of true, brakes slide left-right to follow. At low speeds you hear it.

Probably just sloppy workmanship. My Honda dealer did it to me too.

What I normally do when I replace my brakes is to clean off any excess
dust with brake cleaner. But good luck trying to get any dealer to do
that. Go get a $2 can of brake cleaner and clean the rotors/brakes and
see if that fixes your problem.
