This may be caused by the warning tabs on your front disk brakes. The tabs are there to alert you that the pads have worn down to the point where they need replacing. Don't go too long without replacing the pads once these tabs start squealing. The result would be that the rivets that hold the pad material in place will grind into the metal disk, possibly ruining it beyond repair.

Does the abs light come on when your breaks need changing?

No, the ABS light will come on when there is a problem with the anti-lock braking system. Have this looked into by a professional. You will know your brake pads need changing when you hear a squealing sound when you apply the brakes.


After changing pads and rotors and spraying antidust compound on the back of the pads on a 98 Saturn SL2 how do you stop squealing from your front brakes?

Cheap brake pads will squeel. If you bought cheap brake pads, that's probably it. Also, make sure you apply brake grease to the back of your pads (do NOT apply the grease to the side of the pad coming into contact with the rotor, apply it to the other side coming into contact with the caliper). If you don't apply break grease, this will also cause squeeling.

Why does my disc brake squeal when I apply pressure to it?

The squealing noise from your disc brake when pressure is applied is likely due to vibrations caused by the brake pads rubbing against the rotor. This can happen when the pads are worn down or if there is debris or uneven wear on the rotor. Regular maintenance and proper installation of brake components can help reduce or eliminate the squealing noise.

Regular maintenance and adjustments can help reduce or eliminate the squealing noise.


How do you stop a power steering belt from squealing on a 92 Dodge colt Is there a product to apply that can help?

Well if it's squealing it either needs tightening or replacing. Once it squeals for a while it will get glazed and never stop squealing. There are products you can spray on it but an old trick it to rub a wax candle on the bottom of the belt with it running, just be careful. There is also a tab rubbing against the steering wheel. This tab (i think) sends signals from your horn but im not sure. I solved my squaling by placing somthing between the tab and the steering collum.
