Brake / Tire Question
Greetings All,
I have a quick question, whenever I am driving around in my car and brake gentley I hear a loud squeeling sound. This only happens when I lightly apply pressure to the brakes, if I stop short or apply full pressure I dont hear the noise.
When I get my car washed (I go to a touchless car wash) the water jets blast the brakes and the car is fine for a few days. I wont hear the noise at all, i'm thinking its brake dust building up? I took the car to a mechanic to look at the brakes and he said the pads were fine and dont need to be replaced.
Any recommendations?
Also what is the appropriate tire pressure that I should have? I noticed the DIC said my LF pressure was low. I believe it was 24/25 when the message came up.

Linings are almost shot. Front pads have a wear indicator on them. They sing when linings are low.
Easy to change, but get an experienced person to look over your shoulder on first brake job.
