Help With Brakes

Matt Stang · November 9th, 2009, 07:57 PM

My 2002 coupe with barely 80k miles has recently started creaking when i apply the breaks at low speeds(under 15mph) and when parking/ sitting still and creaks even louder when i let off the breaks. The noise can be heard from inside the car but its louders near the two front wheels. It shoulds as if it is comming from the pedal to wear the breaks are applyed, not the breakpads or anything. Breaking is fine but the sound is anoying. Anyone know what the issue is or how to solve it? thanks

New pads maybe rotors?

Pull the wheel off have a look, see how they look if you dont know post a pic we all have to learn!!

btw its brakes =P lol just givin ya a hard time 80k id say its time for brakes though

Matt Stang · November 9th, 2009, 08:08 PM

the breaks have been replace before but i dont think its the pads or rotors

Tiller · November 9th, 2009, 08:09 PM

ok well then explain it again, if its squeaking/grinding/making noise in the front

Im guessing its the brakes

Matt Stang · November 9th, 2009, 08:14 PM

creaking, no high pitch shit squeaking or anything, its a creak it sounds like its comming from whatever the break pedal connects to next. its like grrr when i apply yhe breaks then a lighter grrrrr rrrr when i left off

YouTube - Dealer visit aftermath, Vdub creaking...

but drawn out

the cable connected to the foot petal needs a little lube perhaps?

Codeman · November 9th, 2009, 08:50 PM

it could be the pins on your calipers. they get dry. I dont know if they make noise. If you need to replace your brakes you should check out these articles they are helpfull. Replacing Worn Out Brake Calipers | Tooldesk Automotive Tool Blog , Changing Brake Pads | Tooldesk Automotive Tool Blog. And as far as the cable goes the brakes are hydraulic. It could be the master cylinder is shot and from the sound of that it sounds almost like your brakes may need to be bled cuz it sounds like there is play. Is there play? if so and you want to bleed them Bleeding Your Brakes | Tooldesk Automotive Tool Blog

Matt Stang · November 9th, 2009, 08:58 PM

play meaning? they work fine , 100% its only the anoying noise

Codeman · November 9th, 2009, 09:00 PM

ok well i guess play is a bad word for it i mean spongy feel? Ok so i listened to the video again. Hmm. Where does it sound like it is coming from? Like the floor? It may be the pedal then. If not hmm.... idk. you have any more info? Like more precise where the sound is coming from? I can see how that is annoying.

Matt Stang · November 9th, 2009, 09:02 PM

nah, they feel just like before , it started liek 2 weeks ago

Codeman · November 9th, 2009, 09:06 PM

ok. well is the sound from the floor or outside the vehicle?

Matt Stang · November 9th, 2009, 09:20 PM

sounds like right from the pedal but it can be heard louder outside the vehicle like inside the wheel wells

Codeman · November 9th, 2009, 09:31 PM

ok well i would have to say that it has to be something outside the vehicle then. Umm it could be wheel bearings maybe. They might be bad. I would recommend taking a tire off and lookin at the brakes and then move the spindles to see if they have lots of play or the wheel bearings are bad.

Its gonna take looking at it all. Get the wheel off on the side you think its comin from. Make sure the rotor isn't warped, pads are still good, etc. Spray some Disc Brake Quiet on the pads since you'll be that far in anyway. If your rotor(s) have started to groove at all it could make noise.
