We all know how we hate hearing screeching cars driving while breaking, well now im affected! I have a feeling its mostly my shocks because the screeches fade out when im coming to a stop. Any word on pricing, any way to check myself?

 

Shocks don't make noise. How many miles on your car? Brakes been changed yet? Might be the brake wear sensors. They work that way ..

blown shocks make a clunking sound over uneven road or over bumps. You can tell if you have a blown shock if it's leaking. You can inspect the brake pads by trying to get a visual through the wheel from the side of the caliper.. but it's a bit tight.. if you remove the wheel you can definitely get a better view. If the sensor / strike tab is close / past the pad material... change them now. You want at least 2mm of pad material past the striker.

If your brakes are making a prolonged screeching sound everytime you brake.. it's time for new pads.. no visual inspection required.
