HawkeyeLawrence Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hi guys and gals, As you may know I installed wrx callipers on the front of my 2.0R last weekend- they were brill until a few days ago, when I started to hear some noises. Firstly, at speeds up to about 60, under braking and not under braking I get a sort of buzzing sound- noise slows as the car slows. Secondly, I get a fairly quiet squeaking noise- sounds like I have a bloomin' cricket living in my callipers! Again, this noise slows with the car (as if a certain point in the revolution of the disc is making the noise). As I had the wheels of yesterday anyway, i decided to grease up the back of the pads, the pins that the pads slide on, and the bottom of the springs that contact the pads- the noises remain! I bought brand new discs and pads when installing the callipers however the Brembo pads I bought came with no shims- could lack of shims really be responsible for all this noise?! I want to try shims but can't seem to find any... Any help will be massively appreciated- losing the will with this one!

Scooby1972 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Are the discs grooved as that will cause a humming noise when driving goes louder when brakes are applied its the pad brushing against the groove....pads may need a stick on anti squeel fitting I took shims off mine as they made a creak sometimes when moving off the drive seems to have gone now...

HawkeyeLawrence Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Yeah discs are grooved buddy- didn't have this problem with my old grooved discs though... Do you know where to pick up the anti squeel bits? Can't seem to find any! Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
