This is the year I'm going to try and fix that dang squeak.

I was driving the car yesterday and the squeak, squeak, squeak, down the road was really loud. Once again I could lightly apply the breaks and it would stop. I then did a quick lane change to the right and it went away completely.

One thing that I have wondered is if the retaining ring on the rear axle could be rubbing on the seal to make that noise. When I installed the axles and seal I was having a hard time with the seal depth so I just got the seal started and then use the retainer collar to push the seal in. So I'm going to pull the axle and check that.

At the same time I'm going to check the lube points for the brakes.
