If my brakes are squeaking...

[mzkhadir]

What could be the problem ?

Your brakes....

Squeaking constantly? Squeaking when you apply the brakes? Front brakes? Back brakes? Disc brakes? Drum brakes?

The rotors are probably worn out. Take it to a mechanic.

 

[Shawn]

sure you have any brake pads left?

 

[imported_Doghouse]

And when was the last time the brakes were inspected or the pads were changed?

 

[mzkhadir]

couple of years back.

Squeaking is worn out rotors I think the pads are a more likely...

And this BEGS the next logical question. Why are you posting about it here instead of looking at them. Man...Tires Plus does free brake inspections.

WEll after a year of bad treatment, the rotors need to be redone or replaced

Pads. Replace the pads and maybe resurface the rotors, or buy new ones for $30/ea.

 

[mzkhadir]

Thank you very much, I will take it to the mechanic tomorrow.

Good luck to you. I hope it is nothing more than simple new pads and resurface the rotors for you. :beer::beer:

 

[Squisher]

Some pads have a piece of metal hanging off that's made to squeal when they're about to wear out.

The time to look at them has arrived.

Last time, I spent 700 dollars on my car for brake work and that was two years ago.

Parts are cheap, the bent you over on the labor. But then again, they are performing a service and are there to make dough-ray-me.

Parts what got me last time. I took it to Midas.
