They’re just brakes, right? I still remember the day some years ago when a customer came into the shop where I was working. He wanted to know why a warning message was displayed on the instrument cluster of his 2003 Mercedes E-class. The message indicated worn-out brake pads. Further inspection determined that a front and rear brake job was needed. The customer declined the work and took the car home.

A Mitsubishi owner may complain of a squeaking or a hard rubbing noise from the rear suspension when traveling over bumps. This condition usually happens when operating the vehicle during cold weather. The squeaking or rubbing noise may be caused by the rear suspension trailing arm bushings rubbing together or possibly contacting the vehicle underbody. To correct the condition, replace the rear suspension trailing arm bushings.
