A strange squeak.
I hear this strange squeak every time I hit my breaks. Not a "brake noise" like a squeal, but a "squeak...squeak...squeak" sound that *seems* to be coming from the right rear. Is there maybe something that should be lubed on the caliper? At first I thought that it was a suspension squeak, but it really only happens under light to moderate braking. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ed

Yeah, I was thinking brake lube... but *sheepishly* I'm not sure exactly what to lube. It is definitely not the sound of the wear sensors... it sounds more like a mechanical "squeaky door" kind of squeak. If I didn't know better, I would swear that WD40 might cure the problem. I have a feeling that the pins that guide the caliper just need to be lubed, but I'm not sure how, where, or even how much to do.
