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

its prob. be the brakes. it could be safe if they just started squeeling. but id replace them asap. pretty easy to do and not too expensive

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!
