Default Do your brakes creak??

My brakes sound like the Titanic at times. The don't "squeak" like when they're almost worn. This is something I've never heard before in my other vehicles but maybe it's a "truck" thing?? It's most noticeable when I'm parked & engage drive & slowly let go of the brakes. It creaks like a sub that went beyond it's depth limit! hehe Is this normal? When I bought it (2 mons ago) they had the pads replaced for part of the safety. It's done this since I've owned it.

Cheers
Sean

yeah happens to me whenever i let go of the brakes from a stop every time. maybe just a build up of brake dust or stuff flaking off and getting in the way? don't know.

Yep, usually when letting off the pedal. Creak, groan, go......

yeah i think i might try to spray that brake dust cleaner all inside behind the rims sometime soon and see if that helps.

how about after it rains, your trucks sqeak then too? i think thats normal though. pretty funny when youre going along and u step on the brake a little bit it like brings the truck to a complete stop lol. (for me at least)

HAha same thing as after you just washed the truck. All of a sudden the brakes are very sensitive, but after a cruise around the block, they are back to normal. I think is has a large part to do with the 4 wheel discs that most people are not used to...
