    As the title says, i need help with this as i do not have the proper tools or better yet, a garage to do this. I live in the frogtown area so if there is someone close by that can help me with this as i am trying to figure out if it is my brake pads that are making my car squeak during turns.

    thanks.

    ^almost always. I would pull a wheel and look at the pad to see how much is left, also see if you can see the inside pad/pads because those are the ones that go first and cause the squeek. If the pads are low this is the cause.

    I have a garage... I am happy to help you pull your pads and see what is going on. I have some painting projects to work on this weekend so it would have to be after 6pm on Monday or Wednesday next week if you still need help then. It should be an easy job.
