think about checking your calipers?

what kind of pads do you use...and make sure your dust shield isn't making contact with the rotors...are the rotors scored anywhere?

as far as i know, the car was used, my rotors were cut recently by previuos owner, but i found a receipt and it says that that was the last time they can be cut.... i installed raybestos brake pads in august so there new .why should i check the calipers?? but i will check the upperball joints,cv joints and dust sheild this weekend. thanks for the advice

well i forgot to mention, i live in a neighborhood full of potholes and bumpy streets. o0000 yea and those ugly loooking bumper guards that do absolutely nothing to save your bumper!

if i am correct the calipers hold your pads. if your calipers are offset then your pads are offset and therefore rubbing when they should not. its create an uneven wearing, which is where the squeeling comes from.

hope this helps

by saying offset i mean your pads are not aligned with the rotors. the other guy was right about cv/ball joints. you would feel it if it were. if your car drives pulls to one side, chances are that i am right. if i doesn't pull to a side then perhaps i am wrong
