Brake squeak question

[Bub]

Quick help

My breaks squeek. But here are the facts, i changed the pads, my rear left break pad wore kinda uneven? what to do? next, when i switched the pads my breaks work fine, but when im rollin my front left squeeks not super loud, but with the music down, i can hear it. Is tihs in need of a resurfacing? its dark now, so i didnt have time to take the wheel off and investigate. any opinons?

If the rotors are badly grooved or the brake pedal pulsates when applyed, then you need the rotors turned or replaced. Sometimes grooved can cause sqweeking. Usually it's missing (or bent) anti-squeel springs and/or plates on the pads that causes it. You can also put some anti-sqweal greese on the anti-sqweal plates although this usually is only temporary. Missing plates and springs are the usual culprit.

how much do springs run? can you get those at like an auto zone or something of that sort? or is it a dealership thing?

Sometimes you can get them at auto stores (call and see as they will be 1/3 the price as at the dealer). But I've NEVER seen the same ones at auto stores (usually they don't even have them) and often their ones don't fit or work well. The dealer will have the correct ones and they will work - you just have to give them your first born child and all Microsoft stock...
