Hey guys ever since i changed my rims ive been hearing a squeaking noise from my front right tire..any idea wat i mite be? a bearing? or does something need grease...thanx

[97mustanggt]

dam noise is annoying, each time im crusing i can hear it, but while cuising and i press the breaks its quiet, wat can it be?

[Mroman27]

when i put my 18s on my cobra, the breaks started to sound like a machine shop a few blocks away machining away at some steel. For me it was the change in weight for stopping, changed my brake pads and it went away. but that was in my case.

[97mustanggt]

yea its weird its squeaks while normal driving but when i start to apply the breaks it goes away, i release brakes it starts again

[Mroman27]

same happened with me. it gets really annoying, and worried me that it was something else because i figured if it was the brakes it would happen while stopping, so I couldn't figure it out for a while.

mines doing the same thing. Except its the rear driver side. Ima try and replace the pads and see what happens.

so wat was the problem? mines only does it when i am NOT applying breaks, when i do apply breaks it goes away

[Mroman27]

my brake pads weren't bad, but my rotors needed machining, so i took them to my local shop, and while i had everything apart i changed my pads too, and it solved it.
it was the weight of the new wheel putting pressure on the hub which put pressure on the rotor.

While i wasn't braking it made the sound, while i was it stopped as well

[97mustanggt]

hmm well i looked at the rotor that is squeaking and it does have some cracks were its cross drilled...and those hugs are self lubricated rite..

[Mroman27]

i dont think the hubs are self lubed. i lubed it up with some grease before i put the hub back on. my rotor felt sorta like an old vinyl record. not smooth at all. it's just easier to change everything while you have it all apart. thats why i did the machining and pads..
the machining for both rotors was only $15 bucks,

it happened to my front right (passenger) side,

[97mustanggt]

same here my front right passanger side, lets c how more longer of that squeak i can handle...also did you have any problems bleeding your system, i changed out the rear pads and a caliper yesterday and i bleed all four calipers and the brake pedals does not feel as stiff as it used 2

[Eclipse27]

i'ma try to replace pads/rotors on mine and see what happens

[Mroman27]

i have some new friends that work at a shop by my house, so they helped me out with that because i didn't have anyone around to help.
but check if a local auto parts has loaner tools, and get a bleeder, or take it to a mom and pop shop, drop like 40 bucks and get your brakes system bled

[97mustanggt]

yea thats wat ima do when i get some cash cuz really all my four disks need replacing imo and front pads as well and ill take it to a shop to get system flushed and bleed cuz i hate driving such a nice car with a squeaky ass noise..hey eclipse tell me if doing that solved the problem
