#14307, "squeaky brakes?"


          

Hey, my brakes have been squeaking ever since I got my car 2 months ago. It only squeaks when light pressure is applied, not in heavy braking. Anyone know possible causes of this? The pads are at 60% so they aren't worn out or anything.

thanks

You probably just need to put some anti-squeel compound on the back side of the pads. You can pick some up for like 50 cents at any auto store so if it bothers you, you might just want to do that emoji

Wash the brakes off as there could be a huge buildup of brake dust and dirt. You can also take off the pads and put some anti-squeal compound on them.
