Hello All!

My brakes seem to be making a new noise, they can sometimes be squeaky however they are now making a more squeaky, almost grinding noise at low speed braking and traffic braking.

The noise seems to resound in the cabin.

I have checked the pads but they seem to have loads of life.





Any ideas?

Thanks

Lee

 

Just not using them hard enough

 

Thanks Steve, your probably right lately.

Went to brands on Wednesday but took the CSL to get a feel for it.

 

Yip... sure I read that!

Honestly though... I really don't know about the Carbons... I wonder if it is just not getting heat into them.

 

The rotor surface looks good to me. Mine squeak a little. Look at the inside of the rotor to make sure there is not part of caliper rubbing on disc. I presume it only makes this noise when you apply the brakes? I hear/feel light buzz with moderate braking. Figured it was the holes in the rotor impacting pads. Probably nothing to worry.

 

Thanks.

Yes only under braking, I can feel it also.

Very strange.

 

What year is your GT-2??

 

2002, however I do not think that these are the original set of discs on the car.

Apparently the last owner had them replaced.

Thanks

 

Your rotors & brake pads look perfect. My car does the same every once in a while.Just wash the build up of brake dust out every so often.

 

Thanks Paulie, Im going to get the fluid changed too.

My concern was that I did not want to drive it if the pads were too worn.

 

I have heard if you change them at about 60% wear you will not have any rotor problems.I'm not sure if this is true but thats what I have heard.
