Creaky Brake Calipers

[CactusWill]

When I first got the Alero, the driver front brake caliper was making a creaking sound when you press the brake. Then it stopped. Now, the passenger front caliper is doing it.


I've never had a car do this before, and the brakes work fine. Anyone know if lubing the caliper pins would help? Or are the calipers junk?

Lube them up. I got the same problem. Going to do it this coming weekend.

Its a known thing on Aleros, lube the caliper pin and it will go away.

Yeah mine it getting really annoying now too.

O well this weekend's project. Haven't done anything to the Alero for a while now anyway

I remember mine creaking retarded loud when I put new front pads on.. I just put a bit of lube between where the caliper piston makes contact with the back side of the pad and it went away-
