long time lurker first time poster...

i have a 98 4 dr auto and a couple of days ago i noticed what sounded like a metal on metal squeal while accelerating, reversing or coasting. i know i need to replace my brakepads soon but the sound goes away under braking. i was wondering if this was some kind of early warning indication to replace the brakes or if i had a different problem. has anybody experienced this before?

thanks in advance

 

yup its called the "brake wear indicator" that means you're around 0-40% of your brake pads left..... so go change them!

 

yeah, that's what i thought. thanks for the confirmation man. now the question is whether to go with oem or aem. maybe i'll flip a coin or something.

 

OEM was like $60 from the dealer.:fawk:
