AntD Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I've replaced the pads and discs on the front a few days ago and now seem to get a knock on the NSF.This only happens after the car has been parked and the knocking will only occur once or twice just after I've started driving off and braked.It also feels/sounds like the disc is rubbing on the pad for the first few seconds when I pull off my drive.I've taken the wheel off and checked the pads and disc,but could not see anything wrong.Any ideas:rolleyes: ???

Kopite Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 What kind of knocking mate? If it's like a clicking then it could be a line or something hitting somewhere, would think that'd happen all the time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Or the pads you bought were not OEM and or you hav enot replaced the shims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Or the pads you bought were not OEM and or you hav enot replaced the shims. Yeah, causing the pad to rattle inside the caliper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntD Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 The pads and discs are genuine OEM Toyota parts bought at a great price from Steve Manley.New shims and copper grease was used both sides.The OSF is fine.The noise does not affect the braking.With the old discs and pads I had vibration on the brake pedal when braking down at speeds from 60 and up.Now its just smooth:) I wonder if it could be a sticky caliper.Funny though as it worked fine just before the the replacements:rolleyes: .

Chris Wilson Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Either a disc balance weight has been disturbed and is catching on the caliper, or the dust shield is bent and rubbing on the discs. I'd go for a disturbed balance weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntD Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 Still havent solved this clicky/knocking sound from the brakes.Is there supposed to be a few millimeters play between the studs and the holes in the disk?Can't remember what the old ones looked like.I think the noise may be coming from the disc hitting the studs every time.Dunno how plausible that sounds:p .I do understand that the wheel will push the disc on the hub when its tightened,but the disc mad a similar noise when I took the wheel off and rotated it by hand.Any ideas:search: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 It may be the pads moving in the caliper, or the caliper moving on the sliders. Turn the radio up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
