when i drive my town&country it makes a squealing
noise in the front by the tire I believe. It is
driving me crazy. It does not do it when you apply the brakes. If you hit a bump it stops for a moment.
Could it be dust in the brakes or needs a lube job?
Help me. This van has very low mileage 97,000.
It has been well taken care of. Please let me know
what this could possilbly be.
Thank you

When was the last time the brakes were done? I would pull the wheel and get a look in the event they are thin. Otherwise I would pull the caliper and service the caliper, bracket and pads in these ares:

I prefer this product myself:

There may be a ridge built up from wear into the rotor by the pad that can also contrubute to a squeal.
