Default Brake diagnosis...

I would do this in the Integra forum but I don't trust most of the people on there, and its also filled with a bunch of noobs and I don't trust their credibility either.

Anywho...My rear (back right I think) brakes are starting to make a higher pitched noise whenever I hit the brakes. Also, if I'm on a bumpy road or I go over speed bumps, it'll make a fainter screeching noise, not as prevailant when I brake but still noticable.

I've been told by people several different things. Whether it be just low on brake fluid, or it needs new pads, calipers, or even a new brake spindle.

Any thoughts?

disks? if so, prolly just need a pad swap.

is there much brake dust on your rims? my drivers front caliper is sticking so there is tons of brake dust on that rim. just don't have the money to replace it yet...

Change your pads.

And don't be afraid of the integra forum, I've been taking care of that place the past few months.

well I know that both you and dub and most of the other OG teg forum members also post in the basement, so I knew I'd still get all your educated opinions. I'm talking about people that registered in "Dec 2004" and have 20 posts trying to tell me whats wrong with my car.

Change your pads, you're bloating and signs of menstrual cramps are coming your way.
