Need more info.

When does it squeak? What does it sound like? Where does it sound like it is coming from?

If it is squeaking at idle you need to pull the idler pulley asap. They are prone to collecting dirt and wearing out real quick. If its on braking, well, pull the tires and hose it out good. You can pretty quickly pull the pads and see if you have debris embedded in them. More info on the conditions would help pinpoint it though.

For squeaks, I turn up my radio. For clanks or clunks, I investigate. Bray [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/40BEER.gif[/img]
