Thanks Dennis.

This suggestion actually makes the most sense so far based on the noise and
feel of everything.

My mom reminded me that when my Uncle was working on it originally, he found
that the PO had actually put the brake pads on backwards. I'm not sure how
but that's what they did. The pads were still good, though (they looked
almost brand new). My Uncle turned them around and put them in properly
according to the Bentley manual. They stop well.

But anyway, maybe this noise is why the PO had them in backwards to begin
with?? Who knows. Maybe he thought the correct way was wrong because of the
noise so turned them around. I have no idea but I think it's highly
possible.

I think I'll try rotating the tires front to back like someone else emailed
me about as well as checking this out. I'll also check the door jamb sticker
with regard to tires like another person mentioned as well.

The tires currently on it are M+S, all season, 205 75R14, I believe. Made by
Goodyear? Not sure - I'll have to go look to be certain.

Be blessed,
~Annie
