[QUOTE="Mike Wilson, post: 551704, member: 62656"] Marsha, Your problem with the squeal, if it is under the hood also, could be a belt or pulley. The moisture acts somewhat like a "slipping agent" (not a lubricant, or it wouldn't squeal), allowing the belt to slip on the pulleys causing the squealing noise. I have had this on several vehicles also. The excessive brake dust could just be your new pads and rotors seating together. This is somewhat normal for the first 250-500 miles, depending on your driving style and habits, city or highway driving, etc... Being an A.S.E. Master mechanic for 20+ years, the best and safest advice I can give to anyone, is to never scrimp on the brake work. This doesn't mean you have to get ripped off in the process, just screen your mechanic carefully, and get references whenever possible. I wish you all lived next door to me!!! :D [/QUOTE]
