"Whistling Sound on 1996 Honda Civic EX Brake Pads"

White 1996 Honda Civic EX

Recently I have problems with my 1996 Honda Civic EX. When I slow to a stop, and there’s this like, whistling sound on the brake pads. Sometimes the sound seems like it comes from more than one place. Mechanic said the pads were fine. Any ideas?
Answer: They probably are, unless you got one of those lifetime warranty deals on the pads. they are just cheapy pads and squeal alot. It’s possible the pads are fine in thickness, but have glazed over and hardened, which he wouldn’t know if he didn’t completely remove them. When was the last time they were replaced? Okay, well then I’d probably say it’s time, since you don’t know when they were last done, you should at least have a full brake inspection done. Find a good mechanic who will go on a test drive with you to hear exactly what you are talking about. He will know where to start looking for the problem!
