Squeaky Brakes?how to fix?

Post by joebuck »

I think I found my squeaky red bird noise and when I press brakes it goes away. If I am going 20 and ride the brakes for a short distance , no squeak . So my squeak is coming from my right front. Is there anything I can do to the brake?

Start with removal of the wheel and a thorough physical inspection. Hi pitched squeaks that go away when the brake is applied are usually from light metal to metal contact between fixed items and moving items. In some cases extremely dry shoes & drums that are adjusted to a slight rub point will squeak when free wheeling and quit when brake is applied.
