    Does anyone else have squeaky brakes that are "normal"? I took my truck to get a brake inspection because I heard faint squeaking coming from the front tires when I gradually hit the breaks and the truck decelerated to about 5mph. The mechanic verified that my brake pads were good and still had about 50,000 miles on them. He told me that some cars/brakes just squeak and there's nothing wrong with them. My concern is that the squeak wasn't always there. Which brings me to another point. I had the truck taken in to the dealer last summer to get the throwout bearings replaced/readjusted to take care of the notorious chirping sound, but alas it has returned.

    Any thoughts...?

    It's brake dust. Something like this will take care of it.
