Brake Squeek Noise
Hi,
My car has 3,000 miles (5K KM). Came out of winter storage 3 weeks ago. Upon braking , makes noise coming from the disk (squeeknoise, if it is the right term).
It does it once, and if I brake right after, it will not do it. If before the next braking, it takes longer, like 30 seconds (like if it cools off), it does the noise again.
Anybody experienced that. Any trick to get ride of that noise. I am not too keen to take it to the dealer, just concerned they may resurface the disk, reducing their thickness and life.
Is there something i can do, to clean them or lube them???
Thanks

I have been looking for this tsb for about 3 months because my brakes do the same damn thing. Thanks Fazm.

Haven't bothered too much with it since I stored it for the winter (it's got only 3000 miles on it to date).
It's kind of annoying, on a brand new car to have this squeal noise , specially at low speed in the city on residential streets.

They mean 8 March 2005. How do I know? I took my car in for the brakes TSB and guess what? My car was made 7 March 2005. I BARELY got in. The Ford dealer had to order the new part since they had none. A few weeks later (yes, WEEKS!) they installed them. My brakes still squeak every now and then. I was wondering if just giving in and going to some HPS pads or something is the only way to get rid of the squeaks forever.

The TSB is for car built before the 3/8/2005. Do you know if they mean 8 of march or 3rd of August. Mine was built on May 2005

What's an HPS pad?
