You can check the thickness of the pad by looking at it or feeling it. Other things to look at are: rotors warped, moisture on the wheels especially in the morning, unaligned caliper, uneven wear of brake pads, etc. Mine usually squeaks for a short while every day because I have rims and moisture/humidity rust the rotors daily because the rotors are fully exposed as compared to hub caps. -------------------- 94 Celica GT

okay here's what you do.
1. take apart the brakes 2. put them back on 3. wait 3 days 4. if the noise is still there check that pin that tells you when you need new brakes. 5. mines does that but i still have alot of meat left. 6.what i did is grind that pin down a little and the noise stopped. -------------------- I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
