narbar Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) Hi, i have just had my discs and pads changed and im very happy with them, the only thing is since they have been done if i full lock the car it sometimes makes a squealing noise from the front wheels and im confused as of why. Could this just be part of the pedding in or could it be something else? thanks Dean Edited May 8, 2012 by narbar (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narbar Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 This is really annoying now, it annoys me when my car even makes a rattle never mind a squeal lmao, the brakes feel great and when I apply the brakes firmly without any hands on the steering wheel the car still drives straight. Would the car not having any of the standard anti squeal shims and just copper grease course the squeal on or near full lock but not normal driving? Thanks Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narbar Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Frustrating me how brakes feel great and dont swueal while driving normally or funny enough when reversing but do when going forward near full lock. Or is this just coincidence and not the brakes but something else? Sorry for my ranting but A supra is to good to squeal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Check the dust sheilds, on the bottom. When the wheel is loaded up it might just be allowing the disc to touch the shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narbar Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Thanks for the tip ill have a look, would be great if it was that simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Does it do it when cornering? A shot wheel bearing would make the disc move in between the pads, too. When my rear nearside wheel bearing went I could hear the brake disc rubbing when I went around corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
