I have a 1980 L82 since new. I am not at all mechanically inclined! Recently had my trustworthy mechanic do a lot of work underneath: rebuilt differential, all rubber replaced, new exhaust system, new rotors,brakes, brake lines, left rear axle and on and on. Had the car since new and it was just getting old but only 175,000 km (the winter is hard on it!).
But now I have squeeks from the wheels/brakes. My mechanic is my friend, and trust him completely. He has taken apart every wheel/brake assembly....done whatever has to be done (machined???) to the rotors etc, tried new pads (3 types) etc. But I keep getting this intermittent and very loud squeek.
When I drive, the noise comes from a front and a rear tire....squeek, squeek, squeek (you get the picture). Louder than a low volume on my stereo! Embarrassing to say the least as the car "looks" great, but sounds like a joke as driving by!!!
I vaguely recall hearing of some anti-squeek pin or something. Is there such a thing that my buddy is missing. He does not specialize in corvettes at all and might have missed something really simple but unique to the car. I HOPE!
