    Ok thanks, anything else? How do I go about checking the brake pads without taking the tires off? Or will I need to take them off? I have actually been hearing some squeeking when turning the past few days.

    Have you got any service records hen you bought the car? A bottle of fuel injector cleaner wouldn't hurt with a fill up.....is the squeeking when you apply the brakes or as your driving? You can look thru the wheels at the pads and see if the pad is worn down, but taking the wheel off is the best way.

    No service records were given to me when I got the car. It squeeks when I turn to the right usually I notice it when turning corners. Any ideas?

    id double check all the things we have mentioned above....... your squeeking.. could be rotors that need to be turned or replaced, or possibly a cv joint.
