Hey guys ive been hearing funny noises from my brakes lately....


1. Now i only hear this when im on the freeway in rush hour traffic so stop and go and very hot....when i come to a slow stop i hear a sound almost like a groaning...very deep. when i use the fronts and when i slowly pull the E. any suggestions?? my pads up front are low but i do have new ones ready to go. rotors are good and not warped...

2. When i press the brakes and im next to a wall(echo lets me hear it better) i hear a clicking noise. i had this issue before and swapped on a new caliper and i though that fixed it...however it could be my imagination. but i have the 4 pistons and i really dont know how to rebuild calipers and im not sure of anyone in vegas who can. so anyone heard these before?

 

The only time I heard a groaning sound from my brakes, I found a rear pad that was misaligned. It had a small tab on the back of the pad, which was supposed to fit into one of the slots in the piston.

Might not help, but thought I'd throw that out there for you.

will check that out thanks. but would that cause it to make the noise when i apply the front pedal? and i thought my rotors but theres no reason why this noise only happens when its hot and not cold. im blow away by this

 

What do you mean by "front pedal"? Unless you car is highly modified in some very strange manner, the pedal operates both front and rear brakes together...

 

well i mean when i use both the main brake (up front) and i pull the E brake i hear the same noise. i was thinking maybe the rotors?

 

I noticed on my FD that I can hear the rear brake calipers click when I'm driving slowly. I looked at one of my rotors and it appears to be warped. The clicking noise for me, is caused by the pad loosing contact with the rotor. when you press on the brakes, even very slightly, it comes in contact with the rotor and "clicks."

However, I think if your rotors were warped then I think you would notice. Just check your rotors and pads to see if they're worn. If they aren't then I don't think the "clicking" noise is a real problem.
