90% done with getting my system back to where it was before the great crash of 2013

I hate cars.

I sprayed enough lube on all the moving parts of my front suspension to create the next oil shortage. The creaking noises have gotten better but not completely gone. I slathered my brakes with a ton of that anti squeak stuff and they still insist on randomly squeaking even though there is no real wear on any of the parts. Stoopid car is becoming like some people I know. It just won't shut up and be quiet.

You sure its the brakes?

 

[Suprtek]

sounds like an interesting combonation

My daughter made the smoothie for herself and then forgot it when she went out. It was just gonna be coffee.

Yeah, brake squeal drives me nuts

But, after I switched to using only Ceramic Pads about 10 years ago I've never had to deal with it anymore. They're slightly more expensive though. And if you switch from metallic pads you have to replace the rotors again or they won't mesh well.

I have front suspension noises and brake noises. Nothing serious or dangerous, just annoying as hell sometimes.

Let 'em squeak and squeal. That way you now they are still there.

My body is noisy so why not my car?

I don't like it either but I'll put up with it before I replace parts that work fine and aren't worn.

I now have a new motto.

I've replaced brand new pads before on a car I just bought. I hate the noise that much.

I have to drive to work for 20 min worth of work because I can't VPN into the office.
