Brake Issues: Squeaking Brakes
I've been having some issues with the brakes on my car. (2002 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ Rally)
When I drive, there is a squeaking noise coming from the front wheels. Its a squeak like "Squeak, squeak, squeak" as the wheel turns around and not a constant "Squeeeaaaaakkkk." (thats the best way I could describe it, lol) As I go faster, the squeak becomes faster.
when I lightly tap the brake pedal (even lightly set my foot on the brake pedal) the squeak stops.
Then, as I come to a stop, I hear a barking noise coming from the brakes until I come to a full stop.
I've been told my pads have about 70% left on them and my rotors have been resurfaced a few months ago.
I haven't really noticed a pulsating brake pedal or a vibrating/jiggling steering wheel.
anyone knows what gives?
thanks,
David

i would guess maybe a bearing for the squeek and maybe for the "brake noise" the rotors were surfaced below their threashold or you have a more metallic brake pad tearing them up quickly. our's had a bulletin back in 2003 about noisy brakes btw, but dosn't seem like the sound u described.
