Default Why the hell are my brakes giving me ****.

My brakes give a small high pitched squeal when I slow down, but its not constant its about a 2 second squeal when I am almost to a stop and thats it. I also noticed yesterday when I was backing up and put the brakes on the brakes let out a loud groan like sound.

Default You didn't by any chance wash the car recently?

Mine did this once when I washed it and the brake rotors rusted overnight because I didn't drive it immediately after I had washed it. It took about a day for the pads to seat before the noise went away. Just a thought. -Doug

your pads are vibrating in the carriers. They are loose, that what makes the noise.
