Front end noise

Some questions:

• Could it be the brake pad squealer?
• When was your last brake inspection?
• How thick were the pads?

Hope that helps.

 

Could also be something got lodged in the tire or brake area.

Gone for now at least.

 

If your brakes were sticking sometimes or over a period, your disks and pads can get thinner in short time. Then the brake piston has to be pushed more out of its cylinder to press the pads onto the disks. The result is a lower level of fluid in the reservoir.

And if the wear of the pads is too much, their indicator will get in touch with the disk. This contact is metal-metal resulting in a screeching sound.

After braking, there is no direct force helping the pads to lift off of the disks. There are only the disks, moving a bit <-> axially, while they aren't rotating perfectly. This causes the pads to lift off some micrometers. While driving curves, this effect is bigger, because then axial forces from the tires affect the disks, too.

That's my theory. If your pads (and perhaps disks, too) are too thin, new ones could help. (Maybe the brake saddle is sticking, too and its guidance pins should be cleaned at least.) If they are okay, your problem is another one.

 

Could be they replace pads but have haven't been keeping up on relube of the caliper pins? Was it dealership?
