brakes creak on passenger side of car
98 bone stock civic hatchback cx - Canada
hi there
all of a sudden my passenger front of the car started to creak. like an unoiled heavy door hinge. The creaking only occurs tho when I am braking at speeds of less than 20km per hour. Sometimes also when I am rolling in neutral. Seems to be more prevalent when its wet and rainy outside. Cant seem to figure out what it is. I tried pushing down on the shock and it bounces up fine with no sounds.
Are these signs of a bad lower bj? I tried to find something similar on the forums but nothign that matches this.
anyone know?
thanks,

99.9% agree
only last thing i'll say is maybe part store brakes not liking the cold, my 00 Si's brakes are squeaking now with the almost 0 degree weather. I won't go as far as to so you have hawk HP+ pads that's extremely unlikely(race pads)/

Re: brakes creak on passenger side of car
it also makes the sound in when i turn the steering wheel side to side at low speeds when im rolling. Are these indicators of the lower ball joint? i should add that i dont have power steering. Never came with the car.
are these still brake related if they occur when im not touching the brakes?

Re: brakes creak on passenger side of car
It doesn't sound like metal rubbing it sounds like a hinge that is creaking...I will check the metal plate. Do I need to remove the rotor for this?

Re: brakes creak on passenger side of car
sorry about that, was trying to give the most accurate description
http://vidmg.photobucket.com/albums/...psgtevqh35.mp4
is a clip of the sound it is making. I hear it when i press the brakes at slow speeds also when I am moving at slow speeds (1st gear up to 10-15km/hr. Its almost as if when I am moving, something is sticking and creaking apart as I get moving again and finally lets go when i get above 15km/hr.
I pressed down on the car and the struts dont seem to be making any noises and come back up fine with no bounce either.
