Fireman31 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 That's normal for th AWD SSS's, it's a different story with the RWD guys. There is a good chance you will need new rotors too when you finally replace the brakes, with that age and mileage they are pretty much guaranteed to have rotor rot......

In case someone thinks your joking about the rot comment; typically when I see one at this age, even less sometimes, the rotors will look as if they are delaminating.

BG06SILVERADO Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) I guess i actually need to check mine, i have ~46k on the truck and i getting a squeak. I am kinda hard on brakes when my mind forgets its a 4100lb truck and not a 2800lb cavalier.
