T9BY G Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Hope someone can help me with a promlem I ave. Since I changed my brake pad myslf a few months ago ive had almost constant squeaking from the front wheels- mostly when not braking, just driving along. Im sure i did everything rite like putting copper grease on the back of the pads and making sure i didnt go anywhere else. Ive had the garage look at it but it was raining at the time and they werent squeaking (isnt it always the way!) so that didnt help. I got so desperate i even sprayed wd40 being careful not to spray the actual brakes.(probably not the best idea) but the problem came back a couple of hours l8r. any help would be appriciated. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m888arc Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 well i had a prob with my front right, it squeeked wiv every revolution of the wheel, i later found out, that when i had my car lowered, the twats never put the nuts on the wheel properly. 1 of the wheel nuts had gone and the rest were really really loose. dread to think what would have happened if the wheel came off going 30mph+ sorry this aint answered your question bud.
