chirping rear brakes on 98 civic
When I release the brake pedal on my 98 Civic, there is a chirping noise
coming from the rear of the car. The same noise appears when I lift the handbrake up and down. My guess is that either the rear brakes or the handbrake cable needs lubrication. Fyi, I have 88,000 kms and am on the original rear brakes. Any thoughts? Thanks, |

You should adjust the rear adjusters first, and the park brake's adjustment will usually take care of itself. 'Curly' |

The problem is the shoes moving against the backing plate. Not an indication
of any wear, just a little rust. Remove the drums, pry the shoes out SLIGHTLY. Add a LITTLE dab of grease to the contact points on the backing plate. A slight adjustment to the brakes would be helpful also.
