Squeeky Brakes Only When Reversing

[soongster]

ive got squeeking and screeching sound (metal rubbing againts metal) when i reverse.. the brake pad is fine. the dish is also okay. what could be the problem? help. thanks

it's not a bug it's a feature.

many skylines do that - mine certainly did (until today, new pads fitted.. however i'm sure the squeal will come back once they are bedded in).

since it's only in reverse i don't care. if it happened every time i pulled up at the lights it would annoy me.

I have the same thing, usually when i leave my driveway (cold brakes).

Consensus: it's normal.

ahh yeah, some brakes do squeek and it isn't a problem it all depends what the pads are made out of

Asbestos may be deadly but it sure was great as a friction material, no shuddering clutches no squealing brakes no glazed rotors, with the compounds used in todays brake pads 2 things will always happen noise and dust, its hear to stay!

Each time you wash your car, ( make sure your rotors aren't hot as they'll warp) jam the hose into the calipers and wash as much brake dust away as possible.

It may also be a build up of brake dust in your handbrake, shoes inside rear discs may be quiet forward but when reversing get noisy.

Enjoy.
