A cyclic chirp noise from the rear of the vehicle during medium to light brake application, at low speeds (20 mph or less) on vehicles equipped with rear drum brakes. The noise can be related to the speed at which the tire turns (one squeak/squawk per revolution of the tire). As the vehicle slows, during the brake application, the noise will occur at a slower rate.

**NOTE: THIS REPAIR HAS NO EFFECT ON THE REAR BRAKE HOWL NOISE THAT MAY OCCUR ON NEONS, AT THE END OF THE STOP. THE REAR BRAKE HOWL NOISE IS COVERED IN A SEPARATE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN.**

This bulletin involves the installation of 4 drops of the "Protect - A - Cup" lubricant into each rear wheel cylinder.

1. Raise car on suitable hoist and remove rear wheels.

2. Remove rear brake drum retaining clips (1 per side) and remove rear brake drums.

3. Peel back the top edge of the wheel cylinder boot and put four drops of the "Protect - A - Cup" fluid into the wheel cylinder. This fluid acts as a lubricant between the wheel cylinder, the piston and the wheel cylinder boot (Figure 1).

4. Install the wheel cylinder boot onto the wheel cylinder casting. Make sure that the boot seats properly on the casting lip all the way around the wheel cylinder.

5. Repeat the process for the other three boots (two per brake).

CAUTION: THE "PROTECT - A - CUP" ASSEMBLY FLUID USED TO ADDRESS THE CYCLIC CHIRP NOISE SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE IN THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM OTHER THAN AS DESCRIBED IN THIS TSB.
