Is that whining my brakes? 200 88

posted by  someone claiming to be Kirk on  Sun Jun 3 14:15 CST 2001 [RELATED]

My 240 started whining in the last day or two. Between about 20MPH and up I am getting a high pitched whine. I couldn't tell you exactly where it is coming from. It only happens while moving. The front brakes are new calipers and pads, the rear I haven't touched since I bought it. Years ago my Honda would squeal like this when the pads were shot. Is this the case with the Volvos?

I did inspect the support bearing for the drive shaft. It looked ok and I spread some grease on both sides of it, since I was there.
