The brakes on my '01 Yukon start screeching/squeeling after about 3-5 minutes of driving. It only happens after the car has warmed up and only occurs when I am braking. It is happening on more than one brake as noise is coming from both sides of the vehicle.
I recently pulled all 4 tires off, took apart the brakes and cleaned them with brake cleaner and removed all the dust and dirt. I inspected the pads and they have a little over 3/8 of an inch left before the metal backing.
I am wondering if my rotors are warping when they heat up (not sure if that is possible). If so, would resurfacing the rotors do the trick or should I just pony up for 4 new rotors? Or am I way off and this could be the cause of something else?
The noise is driving me nuts and the wife is about to kill me if I don't fix it. Thanks for suggestions in advance!!!
