RE: [T3] squeaky wheels

Mike,

Your caliper pistons may be sticking or slow to retract.  You didn't mention
whether the problem was front or rear, but it could be happening back there
too.  Another possibility (this happened to me) is that your flexible brake
lines are rotting from the inside out.  There is enough force from the
master cylinder to push fluid past the blockages, but when you release the
brake pedal, there isn't enough return pressure to move the fluid back
towards the reservoir.  You will be able to see this when bleeding the
brakes - If the pedal depresses smoothly on one or more brakes, and choppy
or near impossible on others, then this is most likely your problem.

Hope this helps,
