Hi. I have a 2002 civic ex auto. The car starts to have some loud "eeeee...." sound when I turn the wheel left or right in low speed, and it has clicking sound when I step on the brake. I took it to the dealer today, and she said that my car is fine....!!! Please someone tell me what cause this problem. I really wanna fix this problem! And she also told me that my brake pads are only 1mm left!!! Do you guys know where I can get a ok or good brake pads? If I take it to the shop to change the brake pads, how much will they normal charge? Do you think I can still drive it around in these days? Please help me out guys, my warranty will end up on April. Thanks a lot.

that loud "eeeeee....." sound is the power steering pump. Make sure the fluid is full. It COULD be going bad, but they all moan a bit when you turn the wheel especially standing still. The brakes click. It's annoying, but normal. 1mm.... time to change the pads. You could do it yourself... it's easy. Dealer will ALWAYS tell you that (insert problem here) is NORMAL to get out of warranty work.

Thanks for your post. I'll see if the fluid is full, but I just did the oil change from Santa Monica Honda like 2 weeks ago... They should check the all the fluid level... I also have to check the brake pads are really 1mm left. If I really need to change my pads, which brand is good? Thanks

OEM. Don't buy cheap.

Forget OEM brake pads, they're garbage and far too expensive for what they're worth.
Hawk, Axxis, Porterfield, AEM, Cobalt, ummm there's others, search brake pads.

I am not sure if your brake pads are a warranty item, but you should check on that. OEM should be fine, and the local Honda dealer should be able to do them pretty fast.
