Brake Squeal

[GccST]

Recently, my brakes have started to screech really bad, all the time. I also have a lot of tire noise coming from the front left tire, like a really loud, steady droning noise(glub glub glub) when driving under 30 mph. Anyone have any ideas?

My glub, glub, glub was tar stuck to the passenger front tire.

Do a search on "Brake Squeak". There have been numerous discussions on squeaking brakes over the past few weeks.



As for the droning noise, it can be a tire or wheel bearings, as well as a brake problem like a warped rotor. To verify or eliminate the tire noise, try switching the two front tires. If the noise stops or moves to the other side, it's a bad tire. If there is no change, then it's probably the wheel bearings or some brake problem on that side.

This could be several different problems, any of which could be a safety concern.

I would have a reputable mechanic do a complete brake and front end check, including

your wheel bearings. Squeak/Screech is usually metal to metal contact, and

that isn't good anywhere on your vehicle. Glub glub could be a bad tire or

warped rotor.
