Front Left (I believe) Noise 2000 Teg LS
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.
