Brake Pedal Lubrication

[willied]

My brake pedal squeaks a little bit when I push it down, and I was wondering what type of lube to use?

wd40?

Naw. That's not real lubricant.

white litium grease. 3 in one, graphite, KY

I think I'll go with the last one.

wont matter which you try they will all dissipate and the squeak will be back

on a side note i had a strange break pedal squeak on an explorer a few times, it was the booster pin where it contacted the master cyl.

Might want to check your brake fluid. I had the same problem, expecially when X engine compartment was warm/hot. (Typically after driving a while during summer months.) After changing the brake fluid my pedal is smooth again.

It seems that after the brake fluid ages it no longer is a good lubricant for the master cylinder.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll get that checked out.

is there a way to tell if your brake fluid is bad?
