Some Toyota Avalon owners report experiencing rear brake squeaking that may necessitate brake and rotor replacement. These owners often find that proper lubrication of brake components, including the slides, mounts, and back of the pads with synthetic brake grease, can help reduce the squeaking noise. Additionally, those facing more serious issues, such as rotor damage or improper lubrication, may incur brake service costs that can reach a couple of hundred dollars, making it advisable to obtain accurate quotes from dealerships or trusted mechanics. In some instances, a mechanic may need to rebuild or replace the caliper and install new brake pads to fully resolve the noise issues. To prevent future squeaking, regular brake maintenance is essential, including monitoring brake pad wear and promptly addressing any issues. Furthermore, driving habits and conditions can influence brake noise, so understanding these factors can help owners effectively manage and resolve brake squeaking concerns.
