Front brakes squeaking

I have just recently noticed that my front brakes are squeaking. Anyone else having this problem. Is there anything I can do to fix this.

Mine don't squeek constantly but it seems like the rotor rubs one of them at a certain spot while I'm pushing it. I'm not worried about it though.

I've also had some of the rubbing sound, but no squeaking

I think mine squeked a bit (but while pushing, sort of like the others mentioned), but nothing serious...

There is a solution for squeking (it comes in a blue can) but I don't think that would be a good idea on the front brake :twisted:

I hear a squeaking sound from somewhere but I don't know what it is. It happens when I'm first taking off in 1st. Just a quick squeak.

It's probably from all the power and you're doing a burnout without even trying.

All brakes are going to squeak some today. Most brakes are Semi-metallic, non-asbestos today. When they have moisture on them or are wet the will squeak/squeal. This is normal.
