Front disc?? Are they worn out? If they are fairly new, was the pad glue stuff applied correctly? A common mistake is not letting the glue dry enough before installing the pads.

ya, they are disc, sorry, and i did put the glue stuff on them i think it was maybe a shade under a year ago. Knowing me, i might of not let it dry. Could I just pull em off and redo it? And do I need to scrape the old off?

Thanks,
Nick

It's worth a try. I've had something that simple be the problem before.

If it just started squeaking, leave it alone for a couple weeks. Sometimes it's a hard spot or dirt in the pad and it will go away on it's own. (although that is usually a squeak when applying the brakes).
