Hey so hear is the situation before I take it to my mechanic... Lately when I leave the car parked for a while and start driving, @ about 40KMs or so there is this metal rubbing sound
grr...grrr...grr...grr the faster I go the faster the sound... Now, after a couple minutes pass by the sound is totally gone. even when I stop and start again its gone.... But only comes back when I stop/park up the car for any extended amount of time... Bearing? Rotor? Rotor sheild? I Jacked up my car had it in neutral reved it up no rubbing or grinding sound/noise whatsoever. Engaged the gear and took it up to 40kms I think or so no noise? Must it be under load?

Any insight would help...

I'd rather no end up buying parts for things that work if you know what i mean!

Thx R

 

Brakes. Just sitting makes them do that.. Its nothing to worry about from what i can say.

 

Yea, brakes, im almost 100% sure, I guess its because of the cold, and they are just warming up, what kind of brakes do you have on your car?

 

Sounds like metal to metal. I'll try to record the sound...

 

Aftermarket pads.. Put on 2 years ago or less

 

check yer pads?
i see you live in dundas. i work there if you want i can swing by one night and have a listen

 

Yah I'll check them... If I can't figure it out I'll let u have a listen... I work downtown H

 

The front wheel should be able to spin nice and freely right? A bit of resitance on the driver side which I think where the problem is... Siezed caliper?
I dunno will take them off! This weekend...

 

pads not retracted so i assume slider or piston problem...

 

Does the car pull to the left?

 

sounds like a seizing caliper and /or slider pins

 

Listen to the sound! this was about 40Kmph went away shortly after a minute

Bestodabest no pulling to left or right

 

that sound is a brake problem. my mom's civic was doing that as well.

have the front brakes checked/replaced/serviced.

 

lube your slider pins.
