JackieWhy have my brakes started slightly squeaking?Brakes,pads are designed to squeak when they need to be changed soon,so just go get pads put on before you have bigger problems by letting them go.Trust me it will save money in the long run and pads are cheap.hope that helps!!Why have my brakes started slightly squeaking?If the noise comes from the brakes all the time,your wear indicators are rubbing %26amp; you need to have a front brake job done. $80.00-$160.00 If you only hear the noise while braking, it might just be brake dust building up. You can try cleansing your brake/rotor area at the local car wash but only after the brakes have cooled down. A lot of the times the rotors become glazed %26amp; the material of the pads causes noise which will go away when cleaned.

1 - You may need to get your brake pads replaced. They start squeaking on purpose to let you know they're wearing too thin. If the squeaking keeps getting worse, you need them replaced. Not a costly repair if you only need to replace the brake pads.

2 - Most times, small squeaks don't mean much. Some replacement brake pads just aren't as good as the originals for noise during braking. With a 16 year old car I would bet they aren't the originals.



Just to be safe you should have your brakes checked - good luck.
