Escort Singh Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hi there, My brakes seem to squeak when I let them go, not when they are applied. What could the problem be? if anyone has had this similar problem then please reply to let me know what it is. By the way it’s an escort mk6.

Escort Singh Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 Ahh thanks alot for your help, in fact the problem was with the pivot on the caliper, yes it was packed of s**t and my friend who is a qualified mechanic cleaned it out, so now the sounds stopped Thanks you very much for your help, done and dusted.
