Re: 1992 s-10 blazer squeaky front axel
The parking brake has nothing to do with it since that works on the rear brakes. The noise may be from the front brakes. Does the squeak go away when you gently press the brake pedal? If so, that's your noise. If that is it, check your front brake pads for wear. If the pads are okay, you can either live with the noise (it is harmless and may go away by itself), or remove the calipers, clean everything, and apply a "Stop Squeak" liquid adhesive product to the backs of the pads. Frankly, if you do that, you might as well throw in new pads unless they are almost new. All of the above assumes, of course, that the front brakes are the culprit. If the noise doesn't go away when you gently press the brake pedal, you'll then need to look at the front wheel bearing assemblies. Let us know how it turns out.
