What does it mean when there is a Squeaky sound while driving but stops when you push the brakes?

squeaky sounds that go away when you push the breaks are most probably the indicators on your brake pads that squeak to let you know that they are getting worn out and need to be replaced soon also dirty brakes will chirp while driving, a thorough cleaning and lube of the proper parts usually cures this There are typically metal tabs on your brake pads that are meant to squeak when your pads start getting low. It is possible that is the cause of your squeak, check your pads, or have a mechanic check, as this is a good possibility, however not a definite.


When I drive my 1994 Toyota Camry I hear a squeaking noise in the left wheel and when I push the brake what could be the problem?

If there is a squeaky noise coming from any of your wheels and from pressing on the brakes, then I am supposing that there is something wrong with your brakes. From my past experiences with squeaky noises coming from my wheels, I got it checked out by a mechanic and he said that my brakes were worn out to the point where I was going to lose brake control in the wheels that were squeaking. I would suggest you get your squeaky wheel and brakes checked out by a mechanic. You might have to only change the brakes if its not too serious. I wish you the best of luck!

What causes squeaky brakes?

If your brakes are squeaking, that means the pads are wearing thin. When you hit the brake pedal, the pads push against the rotor to create friction and slow down the vehicle. Over time these pads wear away, and when they get thin enough they make a squealing noise. This noise notifies you that you need to have new brakes installed as soon as possible. If you keep driving without replacing them, the pads will eventually wear down completely and then every time you hit the brake pedal metal will scrape against your rotors. This can be very damaging and dangerous, so when the brakes start to squeal have them looked at right away.
