ok so for a week my rear driver wheel has been squeaking when i drive and it started getting louder and louder, but when i barely touch the brakes it stops and when i release the brake it starts again. so i figured it was the brakes. i took the wheel off, pads off, sprayed everything with brake cleaner and put it back together and its still doing it. im about to kill myself cuz its so annoying. how do i fix this????

[stang300a]

oh yea forgot to mention the brakes rotors and calipers are all brand new and only two months old. no i didnt install them a shop did.

hmm my best guess is probably that you've assembled it too tightly. That and sometimes the brand of the pads used aren't that great. I'm not too sure about it though it sounds unusual to me.

mines like that too but i think its the front driver side tho...

They're supposed to put the anti squeak goo on the back side of the pads where they make contact with the caliper & piston.

he said they did. and i did that with mine when i did it too...

The caliper should have some light grease on the two pins it floats on also.

greased pins also...

walk beside it as someone drives and see if you can pinpoint the location

what ima do this weekend is jack up the rear end and spins the wheels and see where the noise is coming from and then take the wheel off and spin and then the pads off and spin it and that way ill pin point what it is. i just want to fix this before i get the gears and t lock installed.

[stang300a]

any other suggestions and yes i checked and there was grease on contact points and anti seize on bolts for caliper.

definitely lemme know if u figure this out cuz i have no clue either

[stang300a]

yea ill def post what it is if i figure it out, but ill tell u right now ima figure it out cuz everytime i drive the car i get frustrated b/c of that noise and then get in a pissy mood all day. i just need to wait for this weekend so i can go home and use jack stands to get the rear end up.

yea im the same...i drive it and im like fuck this piece of shit why are u doing that...its so random too cuz it didnt do this a while back....but i also noticed my wheel getting pretty hot sometimes like things are gettin extremely hot, idk if that has anything to do with the squeek tho

[stang300a]

hmmm... i havent noticed my wheel getting hot but ill check tomorrow

if you had a shop put them on, and they are making noise....and they werent before you took it to the shop.....why not take it back to the shop? You paid for a service that they are responsible for.

I had this issue and had to replace the cheap rotor i put on with a new one. it had too much runout... any one no how that happens with a new one..let me know

[stang300a]

ok the thing is that i got in a car accident last december and they had to replace my entire rear end and i had them put the same rotors and pads i had before which are drilled and slotted. well anyways, i know its not b/c of the brand or anything like that cuz i had the other ones on for over a year and they were fine. plus, it didnt start doing it until like 2-3 months after i had been driving it, so if i take it to the shop again they will prob say some bullshit like oh thats normal wear and tear. i never let anyone do work on my car anyways. i do it all my self but b/c it was done through the insurance i didnt have much of a choice.

yea i hate taking my car to any shop...it bugs me...i hate it...but see we both have the problem and i did my own and u took urs to a shop...ur rotors are new and mine is the one that was on it, but it looks fine to me...

[moond0ggie]

If you do a lot of heavy braking, it will overheat the rotor & warp a little out of round.
They may need to be turned-trued.
