What do you suppose it means if my front brakes ('90 80q) are squealing a
lot when I'm NOT applying them? The pads are old, but the abrasive material
is still several millimeters thick. Moving the steering wheel has an effect
on the various noises, as does applying the brakes. I was going to replace
the pads, but is there anything else to be checked?
