Hi all,

There is a squealing noise from my rear brakes that is getting on my nerves.
The noise is not present at all times. It occurs only at low speeds just
before the car comes to a complete stop. It also seems to me that the noise
is more frequent when the car is still cold. The previous owner has serviced
the rear brakes an year ago because of a similar problem.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems? It seems to soon for the rear
brakes to wear out in just one year.

Thanks for all your responses.

disk or drum?  If disk, that's what that awful blue gunk you put on back of
pads is for.

Nothing to do with wear, usually.

Will cleaning help or should I just suck it up and live with it.

Thanks for all responses. My dealer did not know about the TSB but I looked
up some info on the Internet. I will check with other dealers.
