My car has recently strared to squeal/screach when I break. It's not all the time, mostly when I am in traffic. I assumed I needed break pads, so I had a friend check them, and they are fine. She assumed I have a "hard spot" in the pad. Could this be the cause? What else could it be?

Girl's can know about cars without being dykes or whatever nonsense was said earlier. Some of us can even drag race our cars as well as work on them.So don't even listen to that kind of talk.:) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
