Not sure if this started after i lifted my suspension but, the wife mentioned it and i have the car today and hav enoticed a loud squeaking from the rear wheel, think its passenger side. It sounds like a squeel from new pads and the car has new pads (100 miles covered) but it does it when i slow down and pull away, at speeds over say 20 mph its fine. The wife thoguht she could smell a burning smell so i thought maybe breaks are not totally releasing?

Any suggestions?

 

Possible sticking caliper, check if one is hotter than the other after a drive. Obviously don't actually touch the brakes as you will burn your fingers!

 

Caliper might be stuck

 

Pads out, coppergrease, back in, should solve it

 

ok it has to be wheel related as it only happens when the wheel moves, i will take both set of rear pads out, grease and re fit

Cheers all

 

Ended up being the front brake, the disc at the top had rusted and the uneven rust was wearing the pad unevenly so we removed said dust and squeak seems better.

Only thing now is car is pulling to the right under breaking so pads are new and previous owner didn't bleed them ago hopefully this will remedy it. It feels like on I've when I break hard

Tyre pressures all okay?

 

Think so, plan on bleeding brakes tomorrow. If that first solve it I think new pads and discs which I would rather not do right now

 

Before we bled brakes we looked at the passenger side brake as we felt this was weak hence the car was only braking with front drivers side caliper. Ended up the brake pipe was kinked from adjusting the coil overs!

Feels great again
