Squeeky breaks?

[StaffyBull]

I have a 2005 Sport Ed V8 with about 4200 miles on them. Recently the breaks have started squeeking pretty bad. Has anyone else experienced this problem with their new 05? Thanks!

It might have something to do with those 20" wheels. There are several anti-squealing products that may help. Most of which are put on the back of the pads. You need to inspect the rotors, pads and calipers to see if they are working properly (retracting properly, wearing evenly, etc).

Nice dog, I've had APBTs for over 30years.

Thanks Koz,

I didn't think it would have anything to do with the 20s but you might be right. I'll inspect them and make sure everything is working. I got my 5000 mile service coming up soon and I'll have Toyota take a look as well.

Do you still own any APBT's? Here is my Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Apollo. Bully breeds are the best!

For me, there is no other breed. You know how it is, you get spoiled. I always had a Pit since 1975. I have a wonderful pure Colby male now. He is a sweetheart and tough as nails.
