What is the ringing or squealing noise on a 99 Chevy suburban front left tire 4 wheel drive stops when you apply the brakes or drive faster?

Pull the tire and look at the disk brakes. GM uses a little piece of spring steel that makes contact with the rotor when the disk brake pads are worn out. It sounds like the wear indicator is giving you warning that the brakes need to be replaced. When you look at it, if the spring is contacting the rotor, don't wait! just replace the brake pads now.

What is faster a mustang gt or a suburban?
A Mustang GT by far
Why do brakes go bad faster during the summer?
most people drive faster in the dry than in the wet, therefore have to use brakes harder to stop
Your 1992 Honda prelude 22l just started making a consistent squealing noise when driving it stops squealing when you brake or when the car is at a stand still please help?
i would think that it may be a belt slipping. since it only happens when the car is moving/acelerating. perhaps one of your belts is loose and when you accelerate since the pulley moves faster the belt start slipping .also the splash shield behind the brakes rotors sometimes bend and you get a squealing type metalic sound. if is more of a humming sound it may be a wheel bearing .
Why does automatic transmission brake pads wear faster than manual transmission?
With a manual transmission you downshift to slow down in situations where in an automatic you would have to use the brakes. Using brakes more = brakes wearing faster.
What happens if you ride the brakes?
They wear out faster and you will have to replace soon
Why should I repair my front brakes?
If you don't repair your front brakes, your back brakes will wear down faster. This will cost you more money in the long run. It's probably important to have all your brakes working.
When your lights are on and you hite the brakes your left turn signal goes faster?
if your signal is faster than normal then you need a new bulb
How often the brake pads need to be replace?
That depends on how the brakes are used. If you ride the brakes, do a lot of stop and go driving, fast driving with quick stops... they'll wear out a lot faster. Also, if your calipers are binding your disk brakes can wear out faster. On the other hand, if you're a "mild" driver and you keep your vehicle in good condition, disk brakes can last quite a while.
Do lifted trucks go through brakes faster?
Lifted trucks are typically heavier than stock trucks, so it takes more braking power to slow them down, causing the brakes to wear faster. If you braker sooner and less drastically you can help the brakes last longer - and that goes for any car or truck.
What would cause a squealing sound from drivers side wheel that is not brakes?
More info: 87 Crown Victoria 5.0 engine The sound is coming from the drivers side wheel vicinity and can be heard better when the window is rolled up (less outside noise to drown it out?) It does not occur when standing still. The sound is cyclical according to how fast I am going. It squeals faster as the car speeds up and like wise slows down when I do. It is not likely the brakes as it is not a high pitched whine like the brakes and makes the sound when not braking. It was faint a few days ago but is steadily getting louder.
Why are the brake pads and bicycle rims warm when you apply the brakes on a bike?
They are warm because the friction makes the molecules in the brakes move faster, which causes it to warm up.
Are disc brakes the best bicycle brakes?
Depends on what you mean by best. Disc brakes tend to offer the most braking power for a given amount of force applied at the lever. But a disc brake setup is heavier and has poorer aerodynamics than caliper brakes. And disc brakes wear faster than drum brakes, roller brakes and band brakes. Disc brakes are not as well sealed as drums or rollers, so performance will still be slightly weather dependent.
