squeeky brakes

[N4TH4N]

Got a squeeky brake when in motion and stops when applied. Just wondering how easily is the pads to remove and grease up as nvr touched brakes before? ?

 

[N4TH4N]

Anyone

The pads are very easy to get out. Just one bolt to undo on the caliper. Use some copper grease on the back of each pad.

Thanks Fantom, literally wip the pads out and apply copper grease directly at the back of each pad? simple as that?

Odd that it happens when your moving? Usually get squeaks when applying the brake.

Check everything is free. I've had cars with everything all gunked up or almost seized and the pads are left touching the disc slightly. This will have them squeaking or squealing while your going along especially if you brake hard a lot. Usually gets worse when you go round a corner. Don't use copper grease with ABS if you have it. Ceramic Brake greases seem to be recommended instead of copper grease for ABS applications now.

Greased all up and made no difference! ! What else would cause a squeek whilst in motion

Enough disc run-out to touch the pads but not enough to be warped and having a baked pad surface or pads that have a tendency to squeak. If you just touch the brake and it goes then that maybe it. My standard pads lightly scrape after a track day but it goes after a while. Brakes work fine on track when used hard from an indicated 120mph and the fuel consumption is spot on so I can't be arsed to worry about it.

A lip on the disc if they weren't replaced the same time as the pads could be the problem. I cleaned up my pads and very lightly sanded the light lip on the disc and it solved the noise or at least quietened it.

Mine have no lip and were genuine pads replaced with genuine discs and they scrape lightly after a track day for a bit as I said. Got a dial gauge? Maybe check the run out on the discs. Top tolerance maybe.

 

[N4TH4N]

Oh. Too much hassle now just going to replace it all fcuk it!

 

[warwickstingray]

Could it be the rears? They don't get used much a lot of time.

 

[N4TH4N]

Just sounds as though its coming from the front
. Cant see it being the rear

Pull the handbrake on when your driving and see if it changes or stops.
