High pitched squeal from front wheels--when braking in reverse??


Recommended Posts

There was a time when the squeal came from front brakes in forward and reverse. Mechanic said that there were some small stones causing this---sound went away for a while.

Now, the sound is back when applying the brakes in reverse. it is really loud! Any idea what causes this??

Many thanks

try new pads. or new rotors. the pads may be shifting rearward in the caliper housing and contacting rusted portions of the rotor that are rarely touched when loaded in the *forward* position. just a wild guess. i would think new pads/rotors would solve the problem regardless.
