squeaking from your brakes could mean they are needing replacement, manufacturers build in metal tabs to the brake pads so when they get low they squeak, have them checked before too long, it gets costly if you wait.

Why does my car make noise right after it just had a brake service?

Effectively, your new brakes need to "break in." Your old brakes, before they started making noise matched your rotors. Any tiny grooves that may have developed, or other abnormalities, matched the pads. Your new brake pads and/or rotors simply need to match up, after a few days you should notice the noise going away. Other causes of this can be brake dust, rust on the rotors, replacing just the pads with really old rotors or improper installation. If your new brakes are making noise, don't worry, but if the noise doesn't go away in at least a week, or if you experience any reduction in braking performance, call your mechanic right away.


How do you know if your brakes need replacing?

When you are driving slowly with your foot off the brakes you will hear a scraping noise. The noise will go away when you apply the brakes. What you are hearing is the wear indicators making contact with the rotor surface after the pad lining have worn down to a certain level. Not all brakes uses wear indicators. VBD

Your brakes need replacing. The right hand side is probably worn to the metal disc.

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.

What would cause a squealing noise from front end of 1995 Camaro that is quieter when brakes are applied?

Start with the most likely andeasiest to fix. Check your brake pads... There is a wear indicator on the inside pads (closest to engine) that will rub on the rotor and make a squealing noise to warn you that the pads are getting thin. When you apply the brakes the noise will go away a lot of the time. If the pads are new or not making the noise then I do not know what the problem may be.

Why is there a Humming noise on my 1989 park ave when you turn the wheel slightly to the left only going down the road and then the noise goes away after 60 mph?

Check your brakes, if could be possible that they are starting to go out on the left side.


When you apply the brakes you hear a growling noise from the engine compartment and it can be felt in the brake pedal what is wrong?

if it only does it when you apply the brakes hard it could be the anti-lock brake system depending on the year some have a pump and its noise is what is described. The other possability is front disk brake pads are worn off and and gringing away the rotor.
