I frequently find that the front brakes squeal the first time I use them when reversing.

Is this normal?

Hello Carl,

My MY00 has done this since new and so has my mates MY00. Very common indeed I understand.

Yes,

it is quite common. I've had this same phenomenon happen with all the cars I've owned with rear discs. Nothing to worry about it seems. You can cure the problem by dismantling all the rear brake components, cleaning, and re-assembling, but it it only seems to last for a few days in my case, so I just live with it now!

Thanks for the replies.

Why does it always happen when someone is watching?
