Rajinder Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 After my track day on Friday I have started getting grinding noise from the front and the viberation is also felt on the brake pedal. The noise is coming only when the car is moving, so that rules out any engine problems. Checked all the springs on the struts and they are all seated perfectly and the noise do not come when you turn the steering when the car is stationary. Jacked all four tyres for bearing failure but they again are perfect no play. Checked the brake pads and are fine and seated. Any help will be much appreciated.

Gaz6002 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Sounds like a wheel bearing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Seized caliper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordy_alexsupra Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I had same thing, I had all 3.. Seized calliper, warped disc(s) and my pads looked ok with the calliper attached but on the back side (piston side) they were worn uneven down to metal. My wheels were also not free turning. I had jspec brakes btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajinder Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Thanks for the replies. Took out all the pads today and checked all the caliper,they are all fine. The problem was the offside front strut. Looks like some bushes have perished. Will dismantle the strut this weekend. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajinder Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Still trying to sort the problem. Can any suspension expert tell me wheather I should be able to push the damper rod in with a bit of force by hand. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
