zdalmations Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I recently purchased a "new" used 99 Legacy GT Wagon and I have had the dealership look twice now at why the brakes squeal. Their answer was that the brakes are fine that if the car sits in the lot a long time then there may be some brake squeal. I took a look at the brakes myself and they are mechanically in good shape, I just think they may be a crap brand of pad. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickensheets Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Start cheap. Get some mid price pads and some anti rattle spray. Make sure the new pads come with the shims and clips (most do). If you are new to brake jobs you'll need: Haynes Manual 6" C clamp Common tools like ratchet and socket set It's not hard, and can be very rewarding when the squeal stops.
