had a break groan in the right rear.......like a scartching noise then it creaks like a wooden floor when u slolwy come to a stop....ur ur eek ur ur eek......ive changed the disks, calipers twice, switched the internals with the other side caliper just to make sure, bearing, hub, axle hose, master cylinder.......and still the same NOISE!!!!!!!WTF??? then i asked someone today that those lil five cent springs that go between the pads is whats missing and keeping it from making the noise...buti dont have those on the others???what is making this noise????

 

Maybe you ran over a mouse and he's stuck to your tire and squeeking each time he gets run over again. Just kidding :-) are you absolutely positive it's coming from the right rear? Are you sure you assembled the break correctly and made sure the 'squeeler' wasn't installed wrong?

 

no definitely not....i have been doing this thing forever.......i dont even have a sqealer on these pads....hell it even sqeaks when im not on the break....quite irritating...now one thing i will mention..last years when i was in NC i was on I-85 and the caliper and the part that it is attached to came stripped the threads on the bolts somehow and the caliper actually came off with enough force to lock my wheel up from the inside of the rim?? WTF?? i got it rethreaded but still bro??? why the dead mouse noise?

 

Checked your U-joints? Sounds strange but you never know! Could be a squeeky strut maybe? If you've changed the hubs/bearings/calipers/rotors/pads, there's not much more left to check!

 

what r u joints....and yeah...i changed my struts.....i had a bolt missing from my sway bar...and only after i had changed the entre suspension set up did i relise it was all jacked up because of one bolt.....

 

Interesting. Anyway, the U-joints are what hold the driveshaft to the flange that is bolted to the differential. I doubt it's these, but christ there's not much else to replace!

 

thats what im saying...its driving me nuts....helll i even disconected the handbreak back there

 

maybe if i replace the car the noise will go away but im even doubting that

 

Maybe the mouse just moved into your ear and he gets motion sickness? Hell, I'm running out of ideas. What about your pilot/throw out bearing, have those been replaced recently/checked? Those damn things will cause some annoying squeeking/squeeling

 

whats a pillow throw out? i replaced the bearing in the hub there...thats all i know..and what the helll woul dhave stripped the screws that first time and have caused my caliper to press up inside the rim and have locked me up...maybe if i could figure that one out id be out of my problem.and do u know anything about motor floods?

 

Motor floods are usually due to leaky injectors. You can usually install a fuel cut switch (just search and you'll find a million links) that'll take care of that when starting it up. As for pilot and throwout bearings, they're parts of the clutch. but that's near the front/middle of the car. Good luck figuring this one out, I'm out of ideas. And I can't think of any reason for the calliper to strip like that unless it got hit somehow or the assembly it sits on is fucked up.

 

After 8 years I realized on my own this problem was the damned U-joints. **** what a noob I was.

I replaced all that **** because of bad u-joints. To top it off I can't believe I replaced the whole suspension because a nut was missing on my sway bar.

******* noob.

 

Jeez, 8 years later hahaha, story of your life....

 

..I would have Smoked a Joint..the sound would have gotten really Funny!..and then you'd forget what you are laughing about and then Not worry about it!
