Brake Noise

Post by CBR_TOY »

first of all i need to rebuild just about everything on my car lol but,......

when i brake the damn things sound like air brakes. only when i'm going slow and coming to a stop or barely rolling not even on the brakes

weird. it's been doing it for a while and out of boredom i figured i'd ask about it here

it has like new rotors and used pads that have decent life

Check the clips that hold the brake pads in place.

I have this same problem, its like a loud howling at low speeds? I know my proble is coming from the rear because this didnt appear till I did the GTS rear end swap and disk convert.

checked the rears as well i assume?? now that i think about it my car used to do this but it was because the rears were pretty low it would make this noise as i reversed i didn't know what the hell it was i wouldn't even be applying the brakes and it would make this noise then i changed em out and it was all good

vibration squeel. lubricate pad mounting points and the back of the pad make sure the slide pins are lubed and cut the rotors. most places say you cant cut slotted drilled rotors on an amco but you can. dont forget to reface the pad if reusing.
