1989 10 bolt brakes

[NoSmog73]

Ok My brakes have been squeaking very loadly ..(like metel to metel) So I bought some new shoes and took the drums off and the pads have a lot of meat left (look almost new)
No gouging in the drums or any of that type of thing..
It looks like the axle shaft seal might be leaking or the wheel cyl ..
Would that cause the horrible sound..Or any other ideas.. /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
BTW it is a 1989 C1500 2wd pickup.. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

Are you sure its the rear making the noise? It may be the front wear indicators touching the rotors. You definately need to fix whatever is leaking in the rear though. Does the rear have lots of brake dust in the shoes and drums, if so brake dust can make a nasty squeak. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Hey pm me your Cell # scott..
Not that much dust in the brakes and I am 100% sure it is the rear drums..It isnt that sound that the front tabs make on the rotors that much I know for sure...lol
And what is that seal called..is it a axle shaft seal.. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

If you are getting fluid on the brakes, they will lock up EXTREMLY easily once they warm up.

I've had contaminated pads before, they didn't make any noise, except the tire sliding when I applied the brakes. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

if they are glazed they will squeak.
