I have been hearing braking squeaks on my car.
Its new... I didn't notice them for the past few months...
After a snow storm in boston I've been hearing braking squeaks when i brake.
It doesn't squeak the whole time. It squeaks ever now and then when i brake lightly.
Dealer says its fine. Its an all new 05... I think its just wierd and annoying

Any great suggestions?

 

May be stupid question but how many miles are on your car and do you ride your brakes?

 

What do you mean ride my brakes?
3000 mi
Basically a brand new A4.

Could it be a wheel inbalance?
Whatever that would mean...

Could it be because of the donuts and drifting I did?
I tired a few during the snow storm... [8D]
Wasn't being too smart... but had lots of fun

 

Read below sorry

 

Well you have low miles so even if you did ride your brakes for 3000 miles they would,t be squeeking this early I have no idea then sorry its possible you got a bad set of rotors or pads... sorry tho i had that happen on one of my cars and they squeeked untill u replaced the pads and cut the rotors[sm=sorry.gif]

 

Sorry about the above same posts but i just got another possible reason There just plain not broken in enough. I red in Super Chevy that some poeple boil their wilwood brake pads to break them in for max preformance so wait a little longer if you can they might just need some time!![sm=burnout.gif]

 

Thanks for all the suggestions...
It only happened after the snow
Salt and sand... rust?
I'm thinking of getting a mechnic to look at it this coming week,

 

rust..not likely...have you washed it lately?

-T

 

Sort of did.
About a week or 2 ago...
The sound comes and goes...
I didn't specifically wash the rims but I brought my car and got it washed...


THE NOISE IS JUST ANNOYING!!!
I can hear it even w/ the window closed and music up.

 

Don't worry about it not a big thing i would think. they are new they will squeak. Give em a week
