Gary Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 A few months ago I had a seized caliper which was making a squeaking/scratching sound which stopped when i applied the brakes, maybe this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Because you probably dont have the anti-squeal shims fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 The squeal is brake dust...a couple of good hard stops should cure it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruff_Rider Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Does no shimms cause squeeking then? I thought no shimms caused rattling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
