Squeaking over bumps after swapping rotors/pads?
I recently replaced my rotors and pads with slotted rotors and CarboTech XP8 pads. After installation, my front passenger area makes a squeak over bumps and the entire car makes a loud squeaking sound when high reving to get up my driveway. I'm not sure if it's clutch chatter, or something else with the drive train/suspension. I should note that I did not have a dial indicator, so I wasn't able to test the new rotors for the best position on the hub. Is this possibly my issue?

Wut?
Dial indicator? ...... All you did was rotors and pads right? My guess, you didn't tighten down some bolts. Re torque every bolt. Double check the pad shims are holding the pads nice and snug. Check the dust shields, those could be rubbing on the rotors. Unless you did more than just pads and rotors you have to tell us. I can't read minds at the moment so it's a guessing game till then.

I should note that the car has an ACT 6 puck clutch, garrett gt2867R turbo, upgraded fuel system and kw v3 coilovers. Not sure if they come in to play, but perhaps they may. |

Signed, A guy who works where 5 million rotors a year are made. If the bolts cam out not only were they not torqued they were not even tightened. Go back over everything and check again. Or better yet take it to a shop and have them check it over. A caliper falling off while driving is not a small matter.

Right on, well you if your caliper fell out then things are not tight enough. I say give your torque wrench an extra 10-15lbs.
Ah coilovers, yeah common problems are sway bar endlinks coming loose or the sway bars themselves. Again all due to loose bolts/nuts. The loud squeaking at high revs, could be a slipping belt. If possible a video or audio clip would help out.

I think it's not a belt-related issue since the sound is more like two pieces of metal rubbing. That's the best way that I can describe it. I checked all the belts and everything is good. I'll try and get a video this weekend when I have time to diagnose, it may be hard since the car is extremely loud but it's worth a shot. |
