Default Squeak squeak!

Hey,

My brakes are SQUEAKY!!!! The problem is, they work fine (very responsive and good) but they squeak a lot when I stop/slow down. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Just because there responsive doesnt mean there still good, that usually means there going bad...... or you just got some dust in there and it should clear up with in a day or two

Oh it's been like that for about a year. I asked someone at a Euro parts place and he had a look at them and from what he quickly concluded they seemed ok. Could brake dust be an issue? I really don't think there's something wrong with them, they've been good (and squeaky) for about a year.

Mine squeak only a bit and they are practically new (15K on them). Apparently the pads will squeak when going through new layers, or so I have been told.

You should probably take your wheels off and get a good look at the pads. If its annoying you that much, spend some time on it. You can also go out and buy some break cleaner and clean them.
