1-3-2-4 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I have noticed this sound and I really can't pinpoint it because I need another person to move the while I'm outside but if you are driving next to a wall it's like a sqeeking sound depended on your speed. However I noticed if I turn my wheel to the left while moving like going around a turn or whatever it gets a little louder.. turning to the right it seems like something shifts and it's like a metal rubbing sound. the only thing I know is when i went to check my brake pads way back in the spring time the brake pad back which I think is the anti squeal price was so rusted it just fell away would this be causing this?

Legacy777 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I'd check the brake pads and also the axles to make sure nothing is rubbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 I'd check the brake pads and also the axles to make sure nothing is rubbing. I don't know who makes these pads but they have no bite at all only reason I did not change them when I did the rotors was because they still had like 60/70% life left. And it's been a long time since I brought pads but do you get a new backing plate with the new pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 What are you referring to ask backing plate? The anti rattle shims? Some of the new pads have anti rattle shims/pads built onto the pads. Personally, I find those damn anti-rattle shims cause more noise then they're supposed to fix. So I usually don't run them, and will just use some CRC disc brake quieter on the back of the pads where the caliper & pads touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-3-2-4 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 seems like the back part of the rotor was contacting the metal shield plate drove with the window down when it was 35 out and did not hear anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94Loyale Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I was just about to suggest this The shield for the rotor is really easy to bend. Happens all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 they bend because of rocks? man I thought for sure the last time I moved it away it would of been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakotanBoogie Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Maybe a bad wheel bearing? if so the rotor will walk around and ride against the caliper bracket, and wear the pads down at a slant. make sure the axle nut is installed and torqued correctly. Animproper axle nut/washers install will compromise the wheel bearing and eventually the hub splines where they engage the axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94Loyale Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Most of the time I see them bend when someone is in there doing brakes. They bend so easily, it doesn't take much force. I'd imagine a rock or something getting run over could do the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
