Hello,
The brakes on my wifes '02 are squeeking quite a bit. The dealer says it's normal with this type of brakes. She's got 36,000 miles on the originals. Can anyone comment?
Thanks, Mike

Depends on the type of squeeling, but many newer disk-brakes have low tolerances, and any bit of dust or sand can cause ocassional squeeling. Generally if it is the brake squeelers, you'll hear that at any brake pressure, where as with dust/etc, you may only hear it at certain brake pressures. But when it comes to brakes, I'd rather err on the side of safety.
36k seems very early for rear pads. Price is ok
Thanks You Know Who
I just saw a service bulletin at Nissan that said the non asbestos pads tend to squeek even under normal operation. Would have been nice if they told my wife that before they sold her on the work.
