suspension and brake problems
I just bought a used cobalt ss/sc '05. I've noticed that my brakes make high pitched squeak noise as i just tap on them. It goes away once i put more pressure. I looked at the rotors and they have like a rusted look to them almost. I'll take a pic and post. Also, my rear suspension makes a squeaking noise when i drive over something, especially a speed bump. Now, i dont mean speeding over a speed bump i mean goin just about 5-10 miles an hour. Does anyone have any info or maybe a how to on replacing rotors and pads. Please help?

The rear suspension squeak is the rear axle bushings, take it in to your local dealer, there is a service bulletin for this and as long as your warranty hasn't been denied for any reason it should be fixed. Bulletin # 3641A

thanks for the info, the dealers said my brakes were cool and my suspension checked out ok. I was a little nervous since mine is used because who knows what the guy before me did to this car
