I had the brake fluid changed in my 84 gsl-se and ever since, when my car sits for a day or so, I start out , apply the brakes and here this noise. It will be hard to describe. In fact , I can't describe it. But, it is a loud noise like...maybe a heavy rubbing but a higher pitch. I keep hitting the brakes a couple time and it goes away. The car does not pull or otherwise seem effected, it just makes that noise. I took off the right front wheel , sprayed the heck out of the calipers and rotor, kinda looked at it all, put it back on...still does it. The pads are all fine , and infact, the brakes are pretty new. Do you think the guy at the shop got fluid on the pads?? Could it be the pads?? The pads are new and have plenty left on them. The rotors are smooth and this noise is not that grinding noise, just a loud noise is all I can say,,,a hard rubbing noise or something...Like something is binding maybe... What do you think?? Should I brake clean all the brakes?? HOw can you tell if caliper is bad? Can it be a contaminated brake pad?? I just don't know...Your thoughts please...Thanks.......cjf
