Brakes Creak Every time I apply the brakes at low speed then release them the brakes creak and have a drawn out rubbing noise, like a troll groaning. All my previous f-bodies did this, but they had more or less 100k more miles than my WS6 at 65k. Basically sounds like a T/A from the 70's when I pull out of a parking spot. Once I get moving it stops, there are other creaks but I don't think they are related (probably lca or sway bar bushings). What do you think, should I go thru the whole brake system and lube everything up and flush and refill the brake fluid?

my car has the same problem. creaks loudly coming to a stop and letting go of the brakes. pretty embarrassing in traffic at school. iv'e searched these symptoms on here before and a lot of people said it would be the sign of bad transmission mounts. i have to replace my transmission in the next few months so ill just wait until then.

Both my front calipers rusted from inside the piston cups (not the wheel cylinders, the pistons). It would sound like a haunted house door creaking when I would brake or lift off the brakes. One caliper slide pin on each side was also frozen with rust. It's worthwhile and easy enough to check. Here's what mine looked like.
