Roger Blassberg 0 Posted July 26, 2004 Have you changed the pads recently? Maybe the anti-squeal shims aren't correctly installed or have corroded away, letting the pad just touch the disc. Alternatively, slight run-out of a disc caused by distortion or a bit of bearing play can let the disc touch the pad very lightly. As soon as you touch the brake, the pad moves up to the disc and the noise disappears. So, check the shims, the discs and the bearings.

Supercharged 2 Posted July 27, 2004 Yeah, sounds like the pads may have become shiny... either not run in properly after a change or new discs needed as they may be distorted... If you havn't done anything brake related latley may be best to take the pads off and sand them slightly and re-grease and if there worn change them and maybe the discs too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
