the brake booster squeeks or the disk rotors? if its the disk rotors its normal. crystalisation (???) builds up over night.to wear it back to normal i just drive along in 2nd, left foot on the brake until the noise stops.

when do the brakes squeel? under heavy load or all the time?

Brake squeal
1. Worn retaining pins (disc). --->>> Fit new pins.
2. Faulty damping shims or shoe retaining clips. --->>> Fit new shims or clips.
3. Dust in drum. --->>> Remove dust from drums and shoe.
4. Loose backplate or calliper. --->>> Tighten calliper or backplate.
