    Low speed brake squeel

    I wouldn't say they were hard to push back, but couldnt necessarily do it with my fingers either. The rig has 130k on it, and I don't have a record (PO gave me a file folder full) of the calipers ever being touched.

    Low speed brake squeel

    Hi, I just did my front brakes (all OEM parts) new rotors, and pads. Everything works great, BUT at about 10 +/- mph, it is making an annoying squeel. Anyideas? I greased the shims and pins, thought it was better, but it came back. ANyideas greatly appreciated! Frode

    Anybody in Southsound PNW??

    doesn't change with RPM, I will check as it may go away as the RPM's increase. Only happens when the truck is not in gear. It sounds very buzzy, not real mechanical.. Hard to describe.. It happened prior to the 120k service, and continues to..

    Would love to get a second opinion (ok any opinion) on a BUZZING noise that our '96 Cruiser is making. I first thought it was the heat shields under the passenger side, as it sounds like that is where the noise is coming from, but after getting under there and applying pressure and poking...
