Brake Squeal

[nismoman18]

My front left brake assembly sqeuaks at intervals of rotation when no brake is applied! could this be the disc is warped and the pad touching it at the high points or is it more likely pad is scraping the disc! Any answers would be aprreciated

Hey clint, change them over to GTS-t calipers, pads and rotors, then the sound will stop AND you will be able to stop

Aha! I had this exact same problem. I am fairly sure yours will be the same.

What mine was, was a small metal bracket on the pads which detect when the pads are getting low. I'm not sure if it's meant to connect some optional electrical circuit and thus give you a warning on your dash as to when they are worn out, or if you just have to rely on the squeal that they give when touching the disc. Either way the warning system works well, when you know what it is!

My metal brackets were a little too far in for my liking (about 2mm of pad left) , so I pushed them out a bit so that they would go off again at 1mm or so.

My new pads don't have these metal brackets, so I'll see if I can remove them from the old ones and re-attach them in a semi-permanent way.

they are new pads man, ive worked it out my front rotors need machining! thanks newayd dude,

Hehe cool. Well when the pads get low and you get a similar sound, you'll know what to look for. Machining is always a good idea when new pads go in.

your pads are always meant to be in contact with the rotor. So by your desciption your rotors are warped.

I find one you warp a rotor, get them machines, they seem to rewarp after a while.

yeah thats just how it goes i guess hopefully will do a brake upgrade soon, chuck the turbo rotors and calipers on
