While I'm driving to a stop or needed to brake, I seem to hear a squeaking sound everytime I brake. It sounds like my pads are gone or sounds like metal to metal hissing sound. A month ago I had my 25k check up and my brakes are like 60-70% and thats concidered good. I told the dealership my problem and they say its just the weather that is causing that sound. Well at night its pretty cool around 80 and still making that noise. I was wondering if anybody has an idea. Its always good to have other opinions.

Had the same problem on my rear brakes after I replaced rotors and pads. The spring clips in the rear are likely stretched out. You can remove them and bend the two clips that rest against the rear pads *OUT* towards the center of the rotor. This solved my problem.


If it is in the rear, this is the most likely culprit.

See here if you want to do it yourself.

See the pic "After anti-squal clip is loose" (sorry for the crappy spelling). The 'U' shaped spring should not look like it does in the picture to work properly. It should not be parallel to the clip back. They should point away from the back of the clip. Don't bend them too far as if you do, they can break.

^ thanks man! have been having this "problem" for a bit now, thought my rears were wearing prematurely but from reading this and reading your guide (again) i decided to go have a lookee. i already have my car up on jackstands and my pads don't look anywhere near as worn as the ones you replaced in your guide but my spring was parallel so i bent them back, applied some antisqueel fluid when i was there too. hopefully when i get my wheels back all will be bueno.

Not a problem, hope it solves both of your sqeaky brakes.

Cheers.

DonCorleone, thanks for the Rep.

Thanks for all the guides and help, rep is the least I can do.

sounds about right, which is why the service manual recommends replacing the springs when you change your pads
