Brake Noises: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Some brake noise is common with rear drum and brakes and on some disc brakes during the first few stops after a vehicle has been parked overnight or scored. This is primarily due to the formation of trace corrosion (light rust) on metal surfaces. This light corrosion is typically cleared from the metal surfaces after a few brake applications causing the noise to subside.
