Squeaky Brakes
Hi guys, so oddly enough I noticed recently that my brakes tend to squeak when I stop or press on to them hard now again. The brakes are fairly new and I'm not that much of an aggressive driver, so I wouldn't imagine them being worn out so soon. I was thinking that it could be lube thats needed. I doubt it would be a break flush and have to bleed them. The sound sort of sounds like almost the body or frame is bending when pressing hard on the brakes. Thanks for any help everyone. Happy 4th of July

FWIW, automatic transmission cars are slightly harder on brakes than manual tranny cars.
It seems that Hawk pads can squeak a little even if you do bed them in according to Hawk's recommendation. From the passenger seat, my wife can hear a little noise from the Hawk HPSs in two of our cars. I don't hear a thing, but my right ear doesn't hear the high frequencies much any more.

I hate to say it but I'm not entirely sure what particular brakes have been installed on to my mustang. When I purchased it my mustang was slightly used and all the important parts were replaced (brakes,tires etc)so I can't say for sure. I have checked the report that I was given when the maintenance was taken car of. I have had the car for about a year now so I suppose its possible that the pads could need replacement or even some lube on to them.
