Car Forum / GMC Cars / January 2006Morning brake noise
I have a 2003 chevy malibu. My brakes emit a high pitch noise only when I apply the brakes for the first time on a cold or wet day. It does not make this noise at any other point of the day. Any suggestions? > I have a 2003 chevy malibu. My brakes emit a high pitch noise only > when I apply the brakes for the first time on a cold or wet day.

Never tell a newsgroup the mileage on your parts because someone might suggest there is a problem. Brakes should be inspected periodically, not just when they make noise. When was the last time you had yours looked at?

DIYers can take wheels and drums off and hosing brake parts with brake parts cleaner to eliminate the problem (for a while). >I have a 2003 chevy malibu.

' The noise could be normal. Brake rotors and drums can accumulate moisture from sitting overnight in changing weather conditions. If the noise stops after the first few brake applications I wouldn't worry about it. HOWEVER, you should have your brakes checked by a professional at least yearly or whenever you have a concern about the operation of your brakes.  SignatureDave in Columbus |
