    My breaks get a good little squeak right as I’m coming to a stop. It’s driving me nuts. What can I do to fix it?

    Have you done a visual inspection of your brakes yet?

    It’s probably the wear indicators if you haven’t replaced them in a while.

    Depends on the cause.

    We could list guesses based on various assumptions, but that wouldn't be very helpful for you.

    Not sure how many miles since the last brake job. Just bought the truck a couple months ago. No vibrating or anything when braking at high speeds. Just a pretty sharp squeak right as it stops.

    Try find the cause of the noise first, then you would know what to fix.

    Look at the Carfax or Toyota.com and see if you can find the Service records when the brakes were replaced.
