'01 Brake Squeal
Hi folks -
Possibly a stupid question on my part but I am far from an expert here and would appreciate some advice.
The brakes on my '01 SC vert squeal horribly, particularly after they've warmed up some. This is no small squeal, but rather a very loud scream. My car attracts enough attention as it is, without this extra noisemaker.
Can anyone suggest possible fixes? Car has 17k miles on it and the 13' brake option.
Much thanks...
EDIT - I'll add some clarification here:
The squeal occurs mainly under light to moderate braking. I can "manage" the squeal (mostly elminate it) by stopping a little harder/quicker than I normally would. Particularly bad with just light brake pressure, like pulling into my garage really gets the neighbors attention. Definitely coming from the front end.
Thanks again!
