[replyingto=domindart]domindart[/replyingto]hmmm, seems to be the front brake, squeaks at same spot every revolution. the wheel spins pretty freely, but sticks a touch maybe....

When it comes to the tires do you want to rotate them? If so it may depend on how long the rear tire has need on and how much its been used. After while the rear tire tends to flatten in the center and if you would switch that tire to the front it may cause some issue when you turn. I bought a new tire at the begining of the season for the front but noticed the tire i bought last season for the rear was wearing kinda quick so i decided to put the new one on the rear and the rear on the front. The rear had a flat spot that made turning feel uncomfortable for awhile. And that was just after one season of being on the rear. It prob would have been much worse if i rotated after a couple seasons. The tire seems to have wore out the flat spot after a couple months of use. But like i said it was new last season. I took the wheels off and had a shop rotate them, its somewhat easy to tear the tires while trying to install them on the rims if u dont have the right tools.

[replyingto=robert777]robert777[/replyingto]just took it in to a great shop, mammoth Motorsports, charged me $40 to mount and balance new tire and check rear brakes, said the rear pads are ok, funny how much less grip the rear drum brakes have compared to the front disc. But now all is well I guess... front brake squeaks a lil still, thinking I will try to steel wool rust off of it, could that help?
