Thread: Screeching brake noise

Is it the discs getting a fine coat of rust? I get the same problem with my ute whenever I wash it, the brakes squeal until the pads remove the rust.

Thanks.

Probably small stones getting in between your pads and rotors, if the rotors develope a lip, it can cause the stones to get stuck in there, or could also be your handbrake full of crap, this can cause the handbrake to stick on which causes a screech, check it out too, might need cleaning out or pads may need replacing.

Have a look at your front pads and rotors, might be due for replacement.
