hi all,
i have a protege 2002 ES.
recently, i heard a squeak noise in the rear and i thought the brake pads might be worn (though they have been changed by previous owner some 20K miles ago); well, the pads look great.
the noise seems to appear sometime when i depress the brake or when i drive after a stop; any ideas? it does not appear all the time.
i also looked around and everything looks good with the suspension.
i have two more questions:
1 - where do you put your stands/supports when you work on the rear of the car? if you put the jack under the reinforced area there seem to be no place to place a stand. pics would be great.
2 - i discovered that the parking brake does not work (works a little) on one of the rear wheels, meaning i can rotate the wheel with some effort with the brake set; how can one fix this? do i need to adjust the pads using the gear in the caliper or is it related to the wire itself? pls advise; the wire is in the right place, etc.
thanks - Neko
