Subject:      Squeaking Brakes
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Squeaking brakes on the 82 Westy seems to be increasing in frequency,
though is still intermittant.  No noise on first application of the brake
pedal, only in the last 2-3 seconds just before rolling to a stop.  It's
also pretty bad in reverse.

Mechanic (who installed new brake pads) says this is normal (something
about metallic particles in the newer brake pads) and it's nothing to worry
about - says squeaking frequency will also change with moisture content in
air.

Is he giving me a song and dance?
