The brakes on this car squeak. The pads are still in great shape. I have removed the right front pads, sanded them, greased the backs and the traveling surfaces, and lightly sanded the rotor which is still in good shape. I removed the shoes on both sides, sanded them, and lightly sanded the drums which are in good shape. I could not find any "squeakers" and the pads and shoes are still far from the wear indicators. Maybe the same treatment will fix the squeak, but I think it is traveling around as fast as I can chase it.
I have owned a lot of cars, mostly Japanese. None have squeaked like this. I have a puny little car that sounds like a school bus.
If refurbishing the left front doesn't fix this, I'll try replacing the pads.
One more thing: The engineer who decided to add Torx 40 countersunk hold down bolts with threads wider than the Torx bit should be shot, or made to ride around in my squeaky brake car. It is a b*tch to get those off without chewing up the bolt with the driver. And they were on there like some moron in the service bay ran them in with an air impact wrench.
My next car will be a used Toyota.
