Does anyone with an auto have the problem? I just live with it. But another thing I noticed is that at 29k, my fronts have like 41k left, and the rears only 22k. How do rears have a shorter life than fronts? And users can't really abuse the rears short of pulling up the parking brake...
i have an auto and my brakes do not squal so i am free from that problem... i ve always wondered the same thing. front brakes 60k miles, rear 30k? do not make sense to me....
