some mechanical advice :)

Post by killerpickle »

Okay, Im hoping someone has had this problem before. <P>My car makes a whine or squeal sound every time the wheel spins...and when I accelerate it increases... My guess is the brakes...which I think I can afford...but has this happend to anyone else. I even parked the car in a steep driveway and rolled it backwards with no engine to see if it was the engine at all..and it still made the noise...<BR>any ideas? <P>Thanks,<BR>Tom

The sound you hear is normal, it tell you that your brakes pads need to be replaced soon!<P> :cool:

I had that problem my front brake was making a squealing noise. The heat shield was rubbing against the disk... so I just pulled it back and it's been okay ever since.<BR>hope this helps
