If you mean the brake master cylinder, then squealing might mean that you have a vacuum leak.
probably not your engine, sounds like its time for new brake pads. if this doesnt correct it have the master brake cylinder checked
That depends on how, when and where it is squealing. For example, if the brakes squeal when applied, the brake pads are probably worn down. A squeal from the engine compartment whenever the engine is running could be a loose serpentine belt (especially if the squeal changes a little when you rev the engine).
Yes
squeal is a lose belt or one of the accessory will need to be replaced soon
Loose belt? Low fluid? Bad pump?
I'd check the throttle cable or the kickdown cable. That squeal you heard in the engine compartment might have been a cable breaking.
It's either loose or you have a bearing going out on idler or an accessory.
Automatic transmission fluid does not squeal. You have a different problem. Brakes squeal, bearings squeal, and belts squeal. Fluids do not squeal. You had better take your vehicle to a mechanic.
The AC belts are probably stretched and loose. I had the same problem and replaced belts and cured squeak.
Here's a sentence with squeal as a verb: "The child will squeal when he opens his Christmas present." Here's a sentence with squeal as a noun: "The child's squeal was deafening as he opened his Christmas present." Let me hear you squeal like a pig.
I have a 99 and had a nasty squeal that would be intermittant upon acceleration, I changed the belts (upper and lower) and used Gatorbacks (belts by Goodyear), and the squeal is gone.. Don't know if this is the problem or not, but it will only cost you about 50 bucks and hour worth of your time to find out. Good luck!
squeal of fortune
