95 Lumina - Repetitive squeak

Sometimes when I drive, there is a repetitive squeaking, and then when I apply the break it goes away.

New pad time?

Also, my fuel gauge moves a lot. If I fill the tank to around 1/2, it will move from just above 1/2 down to 1/4, and in-between as I drive.
Is this something I can fix? What's going on?

And lastly, does anybody know the location of the EGR valve on a 95 Lumina?
I want to take a look before I go to smog it tomorrow.

The squeak sounds like the brake pad wear indicators, the gage could be the sending unit in the tank and the egr location can be seen in a picture at autozone.com, repair guides, register and go to your car.

Thanks! Very helpful

The squeaking only happens when I DON'T apply the break, which makes me think it's not the wear indicators (as that would only make noise when applying the breaks) is that accurate?

Disc or drum rear?

Re: 95 Lumina - Repetitive squeak

That is the symptom of the indicators, the noise goes away when braking, 95 had drum rear. Pull the wheels and look, no?
