now usually if brakes squeal its an indicator saying your brakes are wearing down. you see on the brake pads, there is a special friction material, and a metal backing plate. when the friction material starts to wear out, the metal backing plate comes into contact with the metal brake rotor causing the squeaking sound. eventually if you let all the friction material to wear out, and its full metal on metal contact, you'll damage your brake rotors, causing more damage.
just go to the mechanic shop and ask for a brake inspection. if your brakes are fine, ask the mechanic about how to stop your brakes from squeaking.How to make car brakes stop squeaking?thats usually caused because the brake pads are worn down and the brakes are grinding the metal instead of the break pads...bring it to the shop and get em' to check it out for ya. good luck!How to make car brakes stop squeaking?Anti squeal compound can be applied to the back side of the brake pad to stop it from squeaking- as long as the squeak isn't coming from the wear indicator because the brakes have been worn nearly beyond service. I've used anti squeak spray with success too, but care must be exercised to avoid getting it on the disk surface too.
Hmmm; 12 years and the brakes are still OK? They either were changed less than 4 years ago, your friend doesn't drive much, or those are some fantastically high quality brakes.
