Driver Side Front Wheel chirping - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

shellslinger · 11-28-2015, 07:52 PM

Hey guys,

I've been trying to figure out this issue. After replacing both front and rear pads and rotors I'm getting this chirping sound on the driver side. It only is apparent going above 60mph. I put grease on the back of the shims on the new pads. I'm using winmax and centric rotors.

Any ideas?

Thanks all

Yeah I followed the insurrections of 7-10 stops from 50-12mph then from 75-12mph

Not sure what else to do

So the chirping is constant at 60mph, with no brakes?
If you depress the pedal slightly, does it go away completely?

As dumb as it sounds - check the tire for abnormal wear and/or nails. Remove wheel and remount. Dont use gun - and torque properly (star pattern). See if that helps.

....and while you have the wheel off, you might check to make sure the calipers are tight.

Yeah as soon as I press the brakes it goes away.
