I washed the car a week ago and noticed an unusual amount. I had a brake job (rotors/drums/pads) done 1.5 years ago. I don't have any squeaking, so I know that I still have a good amount of pad left on the brakes. I know, this may be a silly question, but any input would be appreciated.

No more mods for now--just hoping she stays well. 78K and still kickin' it. neworleansgrl26@yahoo.com

I used to have the same problem at it was not the brake but the driveshaft boot leaking grease "You can turn a engineer into a sale man but, you can not turn a sale man into an engineer" "I have walk to the valley of Honda and death for that I should not fear no V-tech" 99 cougar,SVT manifold convertion, Tranny upgrade by Haines Motor sports (Quaife lds, Fidanza flywheel, and Clutch Master Stage 3 clutch) 18" Axis Se7ends,GC coiovers,sho sho Y pipe,Wilwood4 piston brake kit
