    Unhappy High Pitch Brake Noise

    Always hear it when slowly downhill and I have to step on the brakes firmly.
    I hear it sometimes when coming to a stop in a flat road.

    Exactly the same sound in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N7zhckS2u8

    I have yet to film it to hear where it's coming from.

    My mirage hb MT is 5.5 years old
    39k km odo
    brake fluid - never been changed, no leaks
    brake pads - front - oem, still good
    i'm in the tropics, just sun and rain
    mostly city driven in heavy traffic lol

    Had my brakes front and back checked, cleaned, greased. No effect.

    It’s your back brakes. I hear that exact complaint often. See if the drums are grooved. If there is a bit of rust where the shoes make contact on the drum sand it down a little abd give it a try. And scuff up the shoes a little too. I did that on two cars this week. The drums were grooved but pads had lots of meat on them still. Will need new drums but this’ll work for the time being(unless you’re in Germany lol)

    I agree. Rear brakes will makes this noise if drums are grooved.
