Brake Squeal
Did a search and couldn't find anything. Anyone else's car suffering for a brake squeal in light braking, usually when damp? I took mine into work and they cleaned the pads and lubed the slider pins, but couldn't find an issue with them, but it's still doing it.
|
Mine's been doing it since it got cold out. I think its just the cold weather.
In for real answers, though. |
Yea I had a light squeal also I think it was due to the cold combined with road salt
|
For the last three weeks, my brakes have been squealing in the morning for the first few stop signs.
It's silent by the time reach a red light (60km/h). My pads are getting low and will be changed in the spring. Look into brake shims. The right ones can reduce brake noises. |
It's somewhat nice to know it's not just me.
|
Mine started squealing during light braking right after I got new wheels put on a month or so ago. They didn't touch the brakes, so I'm just assuming it was a coincidence with the cold and salt around the same time. About 21k miles on mine.
|
I believe it's the cold weather for me. I have about 40K miles on my car but no track/autox days. I'll wait to see if the sound exist since we are expecting some descent temps next week.
|
It is just the cold weather. Happened to me for two years once the weather got below 20F, goes away once it gets above 40F. Changing the pads/rotors/fluid/lines made it go away permanently, but at the end of the day its just an annoying noise like the crickets, there's no mechanical issue.
|
The noise as disappeared now that the temps have gotten warmer around 40 today
|
Nice to know it's a normal thing. Thought my wheel bearings were breaking. Not the first time. I drove my first car until the front passenger fell off.
Believe it's a combination of cold and something else, maybe road salt or such. Gave my brakes a sub zero cleaning since the salt is so harsh. It was gone for a day or two but came back. |
Yay, mine squeak too! It usually subsides after a little driving.
|
Mine squeal a little but stop after a little driving as well.
