Default Brake Squealing

One(?) of my brakes has started squealing more and more recently. It's worse when the car is moving for the first time and is loud when braking of course. It also makes noise when turning right. I was thinking it may be the rear brakes needing a cleaning/adjustment.

It didn't bother me before but it seems to be getting louder and more frequent so I want to put an end to it. Any info is appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

If you haven't washed the car in awhile it may be due to dirt/salt/crap on the rotors/calipers. Or it may be the brake wear indicators coming into contact with the rotors if the squealing is constant. Another possibility is that you have calipers that aren't retracting correctly.


Hope this helps. Good luck.

It sounds like you need to change your brake pads.
