quick DIY way to get rid of squeaking from your brakes
me and my mechanic friend were talking one day and i told him about my squeaking brakes, then he told me a quick way to fix it
1. find a empty parking lot
2. turn off traction control (optional but i did)
3. set the car on Reverse
4. left foot on the brake, right on the gas pedal.
5. floor both pedels with the car up to 10-15mph
6. do it until you don't hear any squeaking noise from your brake again!![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

This usually happens to me when my rotors are dirty. The holes get clogged with dirt, I use a tooth pick to poke the clogged holes and then rinse away and that usually helps.
