New BigJimny brake pads came today, hopefully this will kill two birds with one stone. One, stop the horrible noise from the badly worn brake pads, and two, hopefully help to remove the final death wobble symptoms.

when you change the pads i'd recommend cleaning & greasing the caliper sliders as well. i found mine continued to squeak badly even with new pads & that turned out to be the issue. you'll need special rubber grease that you can buy in tiny tubes from an auto parts store.

That's what I was going to use. All similar stuff, stops squeaks and greases it up nice

Not on the sliders or it will make the rubber seals swell and not seal.
Use the red rubber grease as suggested and heed this advice learnt the hard way by many of us!
