I have a 1998 Venture which we bought in 2001. We have been very satisfied with its performance. We have had an issue with the brakes doing a lot of grinding sounds, can't really tell if it's coming from the front, back or both. It mostly happens in the A.M. or when it's rainy and we go to Wal-Mart and park and take off again we hear the sounds again. The dealer ship is willing to look at it for $50.00 and probably say the same thing nothing wrong. I have had them checked by the original dealer that we had purchase the van from, and have had them check by other side companines like...Pep Boys, Econo Lube, Rapid Brake and a few others, And they all say the same thing Nothing wrong with them. I'd have to say the last time we had them check was 2003 May. My airbag light had been coming on so I took the chance and took our van to the dealership and had them fix my airbag light for 80.00 Probably something I've could of done, but they said that they could hear my brakes grind and if I want we can take a look at them for $50.00. Is this just something that is standard with 1998's Chevy Ventures??
Before I have them replaced should i use certain types of drums and disc and shoes and pads? They have been cleaned and adjusted each time we have taking our car to have the brakes check out. And the brakes work fine we have had to use them a few times and they stop when you need to. Any suggestions before getting the overhaul done to my brakes
