bowthruster Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Well ive got this squealing noise-only slightly when going straight,gets worse if I turn the wheel right,but if I brake the sound goes then a few mins later the noise is back.The noise appears after 10-15mins running.Had the front wheels off checked pads/discs all are fine plenty of pad left..Havent checked the rears yet.Came across an old post on here that Gambit said it could be the power steering belt needs tightening and/or replacing.Is there any pictures of this? If it is this why when braking does the sound go for a few miles??Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I get it from the front left I've not worked out if it's the plate behind collecting **** or just bits getting inbetween the pad, doesn't happen all the time but when it does, as soon as i brake it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowthruster Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Its just so !Removed! annoying...and it gets quite loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I'd check the brake disk shield, Mine scuffed loads when I turned right and made a racket, when it was on ramps you could spin the wheel and nothing, as soon as there was any load it would make a sound, i got a flat head screw driver and just prised the edge away from the disk no more noise, just been replaced by a squeal on the other side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowthruster Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 I did that to both fronts yesterday,got a **** load of crap out but sounds still there.Also wiggled the wheels and no movement so hopefully its not the bearings.Just ordered some copper grease so pick that up tomorrow and grease back of pads etc...And check the rears :mellow:Just hope its not so !Removed! cold as today.

savage bulldogs Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Before you take the pads out use them to gently ease the pistons back in to check nothings seized . Use something blunt and flat to make sure you don't score the disc or pad face . Hopefully a clean up and a bit of grease will sort it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowthruster Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Do I need to grease anything else apart from the back of the pads?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
