Q: Braking

asked by on November 25, 2016

Whenever I brake there is an extremely loud roaring. Like an airplane taking off. My brake pads should be fine as the car is serviced every 6months. I also have a squeal that sounds like the tire spinning while driving. My last service they told me both my shocks were gone and need replacement. But this loud sound when braking started very suddenly one day, and has been very bad and loud ever since.
My car has an automatic transmission.
