When Is Brake Noise Signaling A Problem?

Sometimes, your GM vehicle's brakes will alert you when there's
trouble. Whistling noises, chirping sounds or grinding are indications
that maintenance is required. Here are some common causes of brake
noise.

·        
Worn brake pads
·         Heat-cracked or worn rotors
·         Rough finish on resurfaced rotors
·         Loose-fitting brake pads in the caliper
·         Lack of silicone compound on back of brake pad
·         Missing springs or anti-rattle clips that should be on the caliper or pad
·         Improper tightening sequence of lug nuts or caliper hardware
Vehicles often come equipped with a small thin piece of metal
attached to the brake pad to act as a warning indicator when the pad
material is getting low and the brake pads should be replaced. This
device makes a loud noise on brake application, letting you know it is
time to have your brakes serviced.
