something wrong...need quick answer

i noticed today that whenever i apply the brakes on my car there's a bit of a squealing noise up by the front tires (not sure about the front right tire....im guessing mostly front left). i hear this noise when i either apply the brakes or turn left, and a little when i turn to the right. i havent tested the sound when going at any high speeds...only around 20-25 mph.

im driving a 99 3.0 cl. does anyone have any suggestions as to what's going on? and is my car still safe to drive around? i need any thoughts asap....im on vacation and have a crappy time schedule to work around.

thanks all

This just happened to me. I bought my CL just under a year ago and the squeeling started. This is the pads letting you know that its time for a change. Pretty inexpensive and easy to do!
