my car is 99 gsr and i have a problem which i can not figure out well After a long trip i notice a high squeling noise coming from front left brake this happened randomly couple days ago and i'm hoping you guys can help me out cause this is driving me crazy so here are the symptoms.
whenever i drive theres a constant squel that comes from the front left brakes, it gets louder when the speed increases. the brake pads seem okay so yeah, also whenever i brake, the squealing stops. whenever i revese it make another sound which sound like it sqeeking
ANY help I would appreciate it thanks could it be the brake pads or the rear?

 

Sounds like the squealer pin....did you check the inside pad as well? Sometimes the caliper locks up and only the inside pad wears and/or sometimes the inside wears more then the outside just because.

 

bump!

 

Jack the car up, turn the wheel, listen for a sound and then listen to where its coming from. Also wiggle the wheel and make sure the bearing isnt going out. Not sure what advice you're looking for but doesnt sound like you're really willing looking for anything other then a magical fairly to do it for you....being that you reply to my post with "bump!"

 

Pull the pads out of the caliper and have a good look, I bet the inner pad is worn to the level of the wear indicater. Or, a shim is out of place and wearing on the rotor, either way, you need have a look. Have a good look at your rotor too and see if there is a wear pattern in it.

 

thanks for the good idea i will try this out when i get home
