Brake dust sucks, Anyone know how to get rid of squeaking? Options

[bloodrain]

Hey guys, I didnt know where to post this really so I guess it will go in here. My car is in pretty good condition for being 11 years old. Only have 63k miles on it. But when i brake slightly I hear a high pitch squeaking. Im assuming its brake dust. Does anyone know how to clean this or something I can do to prevent the dust from getting on there?

Well if the problem is as cut-and-dry as you make it, then all you need to do is pull the wheels, pull the drums off (assuming you have rear drums) and clean it with some solvent. If it persists I would switch to Ceramic pads. Less dust and better braking power.

If it is something other than dust you might be looking at a little more.. worst case senerio: Your pads are dead, and metal has been grinding metal. No big deal for rear brakes, but your front rotors could have gotten warped beyond the point of grinding them back. New rotors, pads and if you want to live a little, do a rear disc brake conversion (like before, assuming you have rear drums).

You would know if your rotors were warped.... i hope....
