you sure its not the ball joints? or a wheel bearing?

squeaky brakes are usually caused by dirt in the pads or the squealers that go off when the pads get low.

Take the pads and grind off the ends so its at an angle. this will keep dirt from getting trapped in the pads. most good quality pads already have this design though.

yeah i know i have one ball joint that clunks a little bit,thats getting fixed at tax time

i switched the rotors yesterday and now the squek is on the passenger side so it looks like i probally need some new rotors
would u agree?
