Brake squeal in Sing
Anybody here get brake squeal with the stock calipers and pads? Just noticed it today since the windows were down (fantastic day for driving!). Guess I'll check it out with MM tomorrow since it seems to be a common problem as posted in the Wheels forum.

How true dru
Yet, we don't want to lose the cool factor when our 8's pull up to a stop and sound like a bus
Ok, it's not that bad, but I'm more concerned with the integrity of the brakes when they start squealing.

Are you kidding? The brake OIL..........If you tell the service shop that your brakes squeak they will ask you to fill out a survey, tell them you already have, and they will put NEW pads on that do not squeak and it's free because Mazda knows it's a problem.

MM said the pads will be replaced under warranty next time I bring in the car. I guess the stock pads are crap. Btw, brake oil isn't an oil at all...its a fluid, but of the specific type I'm not sure...hydraulic fluid is my guess. I do know that after lots of driving the fluid doesn't have to be replaced until at least a few years on the road or about 50,000 km or so depending of course on how hard you drive.

Watoke...haven't been in yet for service, just made the call. After I explained the problem, was told that my pads need replacing. I dont know if that's the solution or if it's something inherent with the 8 stocks, but at least there was no mention of rotor turning

Finally took the car in and got the pads replaced under warranty, no squeal yet
Actually, the brakes feel a hell of a lot more responsive now.
