I just picked up from HF the Badlands 3-ton off-road floor jack and 6-ton Daytona stands, so far so good!

I’m having a terrible squeak coming from my rear passenger side over small bumps at low speeds. My emergency brake is not currently functioning… wonder if this is my squeaking issue.

Thanks for the info! My records show that the front wheel bearings were serviced 9,000 miles ago, before I purchased. I wonder why the brakes weren’t done then?
