one of my back tires has been squealing when driving. the faster i drive the louder it gets. i am thinking its the breaks but im not 100% sure what it can be. any ideas? i have approximately 58,000 miles on an 02 Type-S.

 

More likely it is the brake pad indicator. You can look through the wheel and visually check the pads.

 

does it go away at all when you apply the Brakes?

 

i had that problem cause by this


then $52 later (pads=$22 / labor=30) this fixed the problem

 

something is definitely rubbing on my back passenger side wheel. when i apply the brakes fully i can hear a rubbing/grinding noise. i was on vacation for the past week and havent had the chance to have a look at it. ill probably bring it into the shop tomorrow to have it checked out.

 

ok i had my brakes checked and i need my back rotors and brakes replaced per CarX. i guess my rotors were measured at 3.20 and 3.24.

i was also quoted at $423 at CarX and approx $480 at Acura Dealership.

any comment on price and who I shuold go with?

 

local dealer will do it half that.

 

i contacted my local acura dealership and they quoted me $480

 

you can do it yourself, not that hard, you just need common tools like a jack, socket wrenches, and impact screw driver and about 1.5hrs of your time. plus the materials of course. you can get the rotors turned, i highly doubt they have worn to thin to be resurfaced. you can do the whole thing for under $75 if you have the above tools.

 

yo man brake work is ez, all u need is a good jank and like posted above..

 

brought it to midas and they did it for $360 and threw in a free oil change.

two acura dealerships quoted me $480 and $502. CarX $423 and Midas was $360. My rotors were shot and needed to be changed out.
