creeking noise from front wheel
« on: December 03, 2011, 11:50:09 am »
Hi Can anyone help, Ive got a creeking noise from the n/s/f wheel when braking, it only happens when 
everything has warmed up after a bit of a run, there  is no feed back from the steering when it happens and at first i thought it might be some muck in the disc or pad but it doesnt happen in reverse. at slow speed  its a creek creek creek, at speed its a click click(like a ball bearing in a spray can). I had new wheel bearings in that wheel 8 mths ago but that was a load rumble, any thoughts/ ideas would be a great help

It may be the pads loose in the caliper. Also have you also checked the thickness of the pads? Most pads have a peice of metal on them that rubs on the disk when they wear down, to warn you they need changing. They brake normaly makes a screetching noise at that point, but yours may be making the noises you are getting.
