I have a noise that seems to be coming from the brakes (98% sure it is). It is a schreeching sound that is on and off like the rotor is warped or something like that. The pads are new so its not that. It only happens after i have used the brakes a lot and probably after they get hot. It makes the sound when the brakes are applied and when they aren't. I don't know what else it can be??? Anyone else have the problem or know what it might be??

 

Did you install the pads correctly, and did you grease the back of the shims?

 

Wheel bearing?

Lift the wheel and spin in.. is there resistance? Hold it at 12 and 6o'clock and try to rock it.. there should be NO movement.

 

thanks....the pads have been on there even before the noise. i will try doing the wheel thing this weekend...if it does make a noise when i take it off and rock it does that mean it is the bearing?...is there anything else it could be?

 

No need to remove anything... just jack it up and tug on the wheel.

If it moves its the bearings... since its only there when its hot (the noise) make sure you check it after driving it.

 

THANKS A BUNCH....its not really a chick magnet when you are sittin there reving your engine with the loud exhuast and subs and then pull up to some girls after running it hard only to hear a loud squeak.....i usually just turn the subs up and rev the exhaust so maybe they can't hear it??!?!?

 

is it comming from the front or the back? i have the same problems in the back, gonna try to figure out wat it is this weekend
