I have a 98 Cobra with 49k miles. I have a squeak comming from the left rear wheel. When i apply the brake the noise goes away. The rear rotors are new. The brakes have about 15k on them. What could be causing the noise?
Left wheel squeak
- Thread starter imports suck
- Start date
It could be the brake piston is not retracting all the way when the brake is off. But once you press the brake it goes away. The piston itself probably wouldnt be the problem but the spring that moves it. Could be a lot of different things. Hard to point out the problem without looking or hearing it.
Are the rotors like brand new and 15k on the pads? If so were the old rotors glazed by any chance? I ask this, because that can cause a sqeak/rub sound. Even if you swap the rotors or turn them and not changing or scuffing the pads will not cause it to go away.
I had that same issue earlier. Hope this helps

Yeah the rotors are brand new and the pads have 15k on them. I am going to change the pads and check to see if my rotors are glazed and check the spring in the piston. Thanks guys for your suggestions!
The spring in the piston may be a time consuming job if you dont know what you are doing. I would do the easy stuff first, then go on to more expensive and time consuming things.
Is the little clip hitting the rotor because your pads are used up?
