WTI 59 Report post Posted July 22, 2013 Sound from the front wheels! Just started today quite loud sounds like both sides. Sound stops when brakes pressed. Discs and pads new 8 months ago. Had a look and discs are pitted ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted July 22, 2013 Does it sound like a bus when you come to a stop? Could be a sticking caliper (had that on my MiTo, GTA squealed like a bitch too ) used to sort it out by getting an air gun & wedging it in the holes & gaps of the caliper & giving it a good clean like that. Got big clouds of brake dust out doing that & they'd go quiet again for a couple of months Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K9d 108 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 My 156 did this when I had a sticky rear caliper, putting the handbrake on one click stopped it, so touching the brakes could be doing the same one the front. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
divadiva 15 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 My 147 made the same noise a while ago...brake dust! After a good clean, all was well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz 29 Report post Posted July 23, 2013 Do your discs have a small lip on them? Could be catching the pads. Hit them with a hammer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smaky 73 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Clean the carriers and rebuild, normally that is enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smaky 73 Report post Posted August 10, 2013 Good good, hitting the discs with a hammer is NOT a good iead. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
