you need to replace your brake pad. That screeching thing is there to let you know your pads have become way to thin and need replacing soon.

yep.. i've had this problem and couldn't figure out what side it was coming from so i had to check each brake and come to find out it was my rear left brake pad. That sound is freakin annoying.

LMFAO.. SQUEALIE BAR.. never heard that one.


you can buy them at the dealership (which will be expensive as hell) or you can buy them at autozone or pepboys. I use the EBC greens due to the fact that i have crossed drilled slotted rotors. Got tired of my rim lookin like i just got out of a black desert.
