Is there a known issue regarding brake squeal? My n/s rear brakes started making a very loud squeal and the dealer found one of the pads almost seized in the pad carrier and the n/s pads had worn a lot more than the o/s.
Anyone know what causes this squeal?
Isn't there a wear indicator system on the D3?
Thanks Volvo XC60 - does all that the D4 should have done

there is a wear indicator on one side, both front and back, but if a pad's stuck in the caliper, unless its stuck on, its not getting worn, so an indicator isnt going to help.
