Rear break squeak - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

dattran86 · 09-14-2016, 10:05 AM

So last week I started noticing a little squeak everytime i break, it had been bothering me so much lol. so this morning I took the wheel off, open the caliper and check all pads on all 4 corners.

All of them seem to be fine, there are a lot of life left in those pads.

Just wondering if anyone have the same issues. I do notice that the weather has gotten colder so that may caused the problem as well.

Cheers

Even stock, "street"-ish pads may squeak sometimes. But street pads should be easy to bed in again. Google on brake pad bedding.

I actually have OEM pads front and rear. I even took the pads out this morning and check if there any thing got stick inbetween, put them back. the squeaking is still there.

LMAO, hey I started using Shell 91 V power non ethonol, and the crickets went away. maybe you should give it a try.

I noticed a few chirps when driving and didn't really pay attention to it since it was intermittent. a few weeks back it got worse and I figured it was my brake pads (no chirping when braking, only when not touching the brakes). I greased the crap out of the shims and the chirping went away for a little bit. a few days ago it came back... god damnit. it's annoying since the chirp isn't really audible with no cars nearby (and doesn't chirp all the time) but when cars drive next to you it gets way louder lol. need to figure something out or just live with it

It comes from the back left side .. More like a chrip from my shocks? It appears sometimes when i pass a bump or i release the brake ...not handbrake ... But with my stereo cranked up i cant hear shit ! Maybe thats the way to get rid of it ???
