Prof. Monkey Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Welcome to the forum, please do not feed the animals any bread.... I really dont understand the bread joke? Or should I use my loaf? Oh around here we have a bread called a "fadge" Imagine it: I was at my neighbours BBQ, when here mum came out in front of everyone and asked, "does anyone want to taste my hot and fresh fadge?"

Lee-Anne Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 When you are driving along and press the brakes, the car makes a grinding noise like the disc is warped. Then when you move off again the noise is there and sounds like the disc is catching on the pad at the same bit everytime the wheel goes around. But when you get back up to speed the noise disappears. There is also a high pitched noise coming from the brakes too, like the pads are hitting the disc, again it sounds like it is hitting the same bit on the disc every time the wheels turns. I hope that makes any sense?! That is about as clear as I can make it, sorry :? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Probably not a warped disc then, or if it is it's not a bad one, warped discs would give wobbly steering wheel when you brake or a wobbly pedal. May need new pads, may be some clips broken, may be siezed, you need to get someone to look at it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee-Anne Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 I took it to a garage and they told me it was a warped disc but since then its started making the other noise as well!! Ill need to get someone to look at it again. I will post pics of the car up not me with a hovis on my head lol and I do have a boyfriend who I live with and unfortunately share the Supra with! He will maybe put a hovis on his head for you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittyclaws Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 sounds like the pads are just about gone, metal on metal. Could be a slight warp too. get a second opinion, just in case the garage is pulling a fast one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardiffSupra Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Welcome lee-anne, Have a look at the metal gards behind the brakes, mine was making all kind of noises i pushed the one back and the noise was really really bad, so i pulled it forward a little and it stopped. The noise was the same as urs, i thought it was the brakes, the faster i went the faster the noise got. Have a mess around with them see if it could be them. Nice car btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee-Anne Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 Just an update on the noise problem. Took the wheel off today to find that the inner front brake disc on both sides was seized and the nearside one was actually down to the metal! Got the discs skimmed and they are like brand new and ordered new pads. Collected the new pads today from the local motor factors only to find they were the wrong ones, so had to nurse the car home after freeing up the brakes from my work! So need to re-order pads tomorrow. Does anyone happen to have the Toyota part number for the front brake pads for a 1995 M reg NZ Supra? Cheers, Mitch.
