Squeal from brakes..

I noticed a slight squeal coming from my brakes the other day so decided to take a look. Once I took off the wheel, I notice there was just minimal wear and couldn't figure out the problem. Do you guise think I should take it in to the dealer to see if they can fix it?

Honestly, I'd check the inside pad and rotor for wear. Looks fine otherwise.

NOOO

the one from Autozone only works on V8 engines...the one which you want for our cars is a semi synthetic formula....it gets rid of any squeaks in our cars...you will get that at Home Depot...

also check their website out, squeakfarkoff dot com

If its squeaking you can always get a good high temp brake grease and spread it evenly across the rotor surface. That'll stop the squeaks. Just be sure not to put it one too thick or it will build up on the pads.

lol the noises are probably just in your head. Like stated before, I would just check for uneven pad wear while your in there. Just to be safe use a semi synthetic lube/or bearing grease on your rotors just incase they are squeeking. Literally smear it on until its totally covered, always works for me.
