When my car goes over bumps in the road there is a squeeking sound coming from the front drivers side. It doesnt happen when it has rained. I just had my rotors and brakes changed. Any suggestions?

Depends where its squeeking from, front, back, brakes, exhaust, ect.... Depends where its squeeking from, front, back, brakes, exhaust, ect....

It could be the wheel barring hub.

When break pads begin to wear out they are designed to squeek to let the driver know that they are on their way out. When you hear squeeking during regular use of your brakes, it is time to think about having them inspected and/or replaced.

It could be the brake "sqealers" telling you it is time to replace the brake pads. Have the brakes checked.

bleed the brakes. check fluid level

When they've lost their brakes...

lightly tap your brakes

Drum brake? Could indicate a build up of excessive dust in drums -remove drum and clean Disc brake? wear indicators are letting you know it is time for replacement pads. Could also be a sign of cracked or glazed brake pads/shoes. Have your brakes inspected soon.

the fan belt needs tighteneing

The drivers side of what? The tires? The brakes? The engine? Please be more specific.

No two drivers are the same. It depends on the drivers braking habits.

before he needs to stop

I need a daigram of the rear brakes being changed

No. Air brakes alone do NOT require a CDL. Added: Calif DOT requires an endorsment on your drivers license to drive a vehicle with air brakes

it depends on where you go

Ensure that the wheel speed sensor/ABS sensor has been re installed properly at the wheels. Re-bleed brakes starting from the rear and then finish with the drivers side front.

Don't hit the brakes so hard.

you go to a mechanic and change*

When you press the brakes, the lights brighten up mainly to alert drivers behind you that you are slowing down or stopping. It prevents accidents

Yes. Air brakes have absolutely zero to do with determining what type of license a vehicle requires.

start bleeding at the passenger side rear wheel then go to the drivers side rear wheel, next to passenger side front wheel and finally the drivers side front wheel, this is the order you should bleed the brakes.

the squeeking noise is the " birdt chirpers " letting you know you need new brake pads.

The grinding could be coming from the rear brakes.

Drums are not a job for beginners. With the right tools & a manual you could do it.

When the "Brakes" light on your dash comes on, or if you hear "metal to metal" scraping from them.

Failed brake line.

brake failure

You need a valid drivers license. Air brakes don't affect what type of license you need.

How often brakes should be changed depends on the type of brakes in the vehicle and the use of the bakes in the vehicle. However, the general rule is every 10,000 miles.

If I were asking here it would mean I have never changed brakes before. Although the process is fairly simple you can do things wrong that would prevent the brakes from working properly. Your first time needs to be with the oversight of someone who has changed brakes before. Better yet, have a qualified mechanic do it for you. Your life and the lives of others may hang in the balance.

The air brake changed society by creating new jobs for people of the 1800s, a time of massive city expanditure. It also made braking easier for train drivers and abolished the need for a brakesman. C.O, Grade 9 Student

If this is a 4 wheel drive the clicking comes from a bad axle cv joint

Even though the brakes were recently changed, I would have the brakes taken apart and inspected. Something may have gone wrong.

Hard to answer that one. Some drivers only get 25K out of a set of brakes while others get 90K plus. It really depends on the vehicle and the driver.

to warn the drivers behind your automobile that you are slowing down

A squeaking noise from the rear left tire when turning is typically caused by a worn wheel bearing. The bearing supports the wheels as they turn. Could also be the brake pad "squealer" letting you know it is time to have the brakes serviced.

Apart from checking that rotors and pads are clean, and that pads are properly bedded in there isn't much you can do. Some will "always" squeak under certain circumstances, like when they're wet. You can try another kind of brake pads, which might help.

It is possible for the brakes to lock up on a 2000 Chevy Venture when in reverse because the brakes are not working properly. Perhaps the brake pads need to be changed.

Bleed the brakes. It sounds like you have air in the system.

It varies because of each drivers personal driving habits. Have the brakes safety checked during each lube, oil and filter service.

I have never changed drum brakes before but i have a Montero sport 2000 also. Does it look very complicated?

Yes, but the entire braking system would need changed. It would be easier and cheaper to buy a car with ABS.

on the drivers side located on a junction block in the line going to the rer brakes

Jeep Grand Cherokee brakes will last a different amount depending on how far you drive the car and how hard you are on the brakes. They can easily go 5000 to 6000 miles before needing changed.

When the brake pads are worn the rivets will actually touch the brake rotor when the brakes are applied. The brakes should be changed immediately.

There is no 'set' answer for this question. Be aware that there are built-in warning devices on the brakes. When the pads are low you will begin hear a screeching sound whenever you apply the brakes. When you start hearing that sound consistently - it is time.

I have a 99 A6 quattro and have changed the brakes out on it multiple times. email me if you need to know anything. Doster@marshall.edu

Check the fuse panel on the drivers end of the dash ( the fuse panel cover is visible with the drivers door open ) Check fuse # 14 If it is a 20 amp fuse , it has rear anti=lock brakes If it is a 10 amp fuse , it has 4 wheel anti-lock brakes ( Yes ! , that is correct , the 10 amp fuse means it has 4 wheel ABS )

Lets say you do not have ABS. If that is the case, is it the front or the back brakes. If it is the back brakes, then it is possible that the brake springs have to be changed, that is of course if you have drum brakes. If you have 4 wheel disk, then its another problem, possible the brake equilizer valve has to be replaced.

Check the lug nuts
