When I release the handbrake on my jtd it squeeks and does the same when I release the foot brake. Is this anythin to worry about?
 
hmmmmm

hmmmmm

i think i get this as well, i know i have a squeeky brake pedal but on occasions i get a squeek from the car when the brake is released (handbrake sometimes aswell), i'm think its the rear brake drums on mine as since i bought it they haven't been replaced and my fronts have had new discs and pads.
 
Re: hmmmmm

Cheers mate, anyone else got any ideas?
 
Re: hmmmmm

If its drums on the back you'll probably find theres no grease on the contact points for the brake shoes , take off wheels/hub/shoes etc and there are i think 2 or 3 for each shoe , lube up and all should be good , unless of course its disks in which case ignore all of the above ;)

Does is only happen when you've washed the car?
