When I push my brakes in when stopped there is this squeaking sound like a rusty spring or something being strecthed. It is not the brakes I just replaced them. Do you think I need to bleed the brakes? Or is there anything else you think it could be?
 
I know that everyone suggests to bleed the brakes after changing the pads. Also, I hear that bleeding the master cylinder is a good way to go as well. However, I'm not sure if the "squeaking" noise could be fixed my bleeding the brakes. It sounds like something mechanical. However, I know that my brake pedal makes a little squeaking noise when pushed in, but nothing serious.
 
I wonder if the problem I'm having is the same thing. When I push the pedal it feels kind of rough and makes what sounds like a squeezing noise and I can also hear a similar noise coming from the brakes if I push it when I'm stopped. What is this? :shrug:
 
it sounds like it might be coming from the pedal itself. I need to get someone to push on them and let me listen by the brakes. Everytime i have someone around it doesnt make the noise though. It made the noise before i did the brakes so i thought it might be the brakes so i replaced them. yea i did put anti seize on it too. maybe this is just a reason to buy some bigger better brakes.
