Re: 1997 bravada
I'm guessing worn out brake pads and rubber shock bushings.

My guess would be front brake pads. The pads have a small metal clip that is designed to make a high pitched squeel when the pads are near the end of their useful life. The clip contacts the rotor and squeels to get your attention before the pads get down to the rivets and really start wearing things out.
Don't wait to long to have it looked at. If you catch it early you'll probably only need new pads, if you wait too long, you'll need brake rotors as well. Take care, Mark |

Re: 1997 bravada
Hey Mark,
I recently visited with Jim of Phoenix via email and he said he'd start checking by here regular. The Jimmy site is still up but the Bravada is still down and Kandra won't answer my emails ???? I guess this place will be around a while. |

hey Chris,
yea, I checked in on the old site recently and also emailed, but had the same results. Not as much activity here but at least it's moderated. The '93 is working great. I'm going to look into an occasional rear wiper issue and I'll post the results. Take care, Mark |
