smiffy 99 Report post Posted January 29, 2013 This is a strange one (for me anyways) it only happens about 30mins into a journey, there's a load squealing noise from the drivers side wheel area, seems to change tone now and again but seems to get worse as driving carries on. Doesn't seem to happen at low speeds and when I brake. Is it a wheel bearing totally fooked or do I need new discs and pads??? The discs have a step on them so I will be replacing them anyway. Any thoughts? 156 GTA by the way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smaky 73 Report post Posted January 29, 2013 If I remember correctly, you still have the stock GTA 305mm brake setup, so what is probably happening is that one of the pistons is siezing up when the calipers warmed up a bit, replacing the discs and pads wont solve this as it's the caliper which needs an overhaul.

Smaky 73 Report post Posted January 29, 2013 A wheel bearing would sqeal all the time and probably go silent when you pressed the brakes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This has reminded me of a similar problem on my 156, but at the rear, it squealed after a while but if I pulled the handbrake on a couple of notches it went, it also went when I braked. Turned out to be a stuck caliper, which had worn the pad down to the metal by the time I got it to Smaky's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smiffy 99 Report post Posted January 29, 2013 So best place to get refurb kit? Also discs and pads, drilled and grooved they make a cool noise when braking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted January 29, 2013 Its probly a good idea to change the brake fluid anyway (unless its been done recently?) thats a job you can do another time though along with the hoses Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
