Drum brake squeak noise

Feb 19, 2008 0 Replies

Hi,



I've got an 2003 Impreza. My drum brakes emit a loud "squeaking" noise and get progressively worse when the air is dry. I've had the dealer look into this several time and they said this has been a problem with Subarus in Northern California. Apparently the squeaking is generated by accumulated brake dust in the drum wells. However, even when the dealer cleaned the dust out the noise returned.



Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any solution to the problem? Subaru has not taken any responsibility for this and claims they cannot eliminate the noise.



Thanks, James
