The Fred Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I hear a squeeking sound from the front wheels of my 90 Seville when the car is moving Someone says that it is brake wear indicators... I thought that those would make a loud noise when you got on the brakes.. MerryChristmas Be a Capitalist or work for one. Work for a Capitalist or be one.

Ranger Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 They usually start out as a very quiet squeek, almost like a chirpping bird. It will usually go away when the brakes are applied. If ignored, it will get louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fred Posted August 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Had the wheels off today to put new tires on.. brakes have around 20% left on them.. the sound doesn't go away when I press down on the brakes which makes me think it is not a hanging brake or the wear indicators I wonder what it is... it aint too bad of a noise it is quiet MerryChristmas Be a Capitalist or work for one.

Steveheyse Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Have the wheel bearings checked. They may need replacing. If the squeaking is loader (or quieter) when you turn left or right, you may have a clue as to which one is going bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started noticing mine when I turned the wheel one way or another. While you had the wheels off did you check the indicators? You can bend them away from the rotor but you take the chance of wearing grooves into the rotors by the brake rivets if it has them. Change your brakes, I just had my front brakes changed on the 94 Concours for $58 parts & labor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
