1. Defective, damaged or oil contaminated disk pads on one side. Inspect.
2. Excessive wear of brake pad material or disk on one side. Inspect and correct as necessary.

1. Disc brake pads worn out. The noise comes from the wear sensor rubbing against the disc. Replace pads with new ones emmediatly.

3. Excessive brake pedal travel

1. Partial brake system failure. Inspect entire system and correct as required.
2. Insufficient fluid in master cylinder. Check, add fluid and bleed system if necessary.
3. Rear brakes not adjusting properly. Make a series of starts and stops while the vehicle is in reverse. If this does not correct the situation, remove the drums and inspect the self adjusters.
