Bit of a length of string question, vz quality of pads/driving style/wear level of discs etc.. Might get a better guestimate over in uk.rec.cars.maintenance |

Brian yes you don't hear it until you lightly touch the brakes and it goes away under heavy breaking as you would expect...just surprised the pads on a car like that doesn't have an electrical warning system....... |

He should be good for a couple of weeks, at least. thought that myself...thanks I'd never give advice like that without more information. They could be squealing because the pads are worn right down to the steel backing. Indeed I've seen them worn right to the piston! Plus we have no idea how may miles the OP drives each week. It could be 1000s So you say a couple of weeks and four days later the crash and die due to failed brakes! Mike |

OK I will come clean...up to two years ago when I had to get the wife to do
the pads and discs on my Suzuki wagon r when I was just out of a liver transplant I had no idea what the wee bits of metal were sticking out out two of the four brake shoes we were about to fit...we fitted them anyway and it was only a few months later I found out what they were..and I have been working on all sorts of cars for 47 years.....so...sorry I was just having a bit of fun and my pals Sedona was the first time I ever heard them working!....sorry all..tee hee..and yes you do learn something new every day...... |
