#36 of 45 Brake pedal squeak/whistle by rsholland

Sep 05, 2002 (3:25 pm)

I was out driving the wife's Forester this afternoon, and noticed that the brake pedal squeaks (whistles?) when you first apply the brakes.
 
When I got home, I turned off the engine, and pumped the brakes several times, and sure enough, the pedal whistles when you first apply it. I also noticed, that when parked and after pumping the brakes a few times, the pedal seems not to go down quite as far, and the pedal whistling disappeared!
 
Anybody got any idea what's going on?

#37 of 45 Pumping while off getting hard by paisan

That's cause the brake booster is w/o power when the car is off. You usually get 2-3 pumps then it becomes hard.
 
As for the squeek, it's probably in the brake light switch possibly.

must be the reason I posted that question in this forum, and not the "Problem" forum?! Please forgive my "senior moment" here...

Grease up the pedal hinges with lithium grease, they sell the stuff in spray cans.

an ad for an '88 Justy, 5 spd 4WD, $650/ofr. Says it is running good....I might have to look into that...it is the 3-cylinder model though...was there a 4-cylinder model?
