So I have a little bit of squeeking in the pass rear wheel while driving, sounds like pads, but it doesnt go away or change (much) while braking. Semi racing pads. New bearings (1k miles or so). I dont feel a drag (while rolling to a stop), but its a a bit harder to roll than my CRX so I think there may be some dragging. Calipers were rebuilt 6 years ago and have been sitting most of the time. No proportioning valve. Fresh fluid in ~ 4 years ago (sitting since). Parking cables are disconnected.


What should I look for when I have it on the lift? I am going to adjust the rear brake clearance and test function of the rears. (They were adjusted when fluid went in 4 years ago, but Who knows if its still in spec).

Thanks all!
Andrew

Dion,

Im familar with that, Its just the pad touching the rotor in that situation, and like you mentioned should be eliminated when applying brake pressure. However I have applied brake pressure with no change in sound.

Axle nut MIGHT be loose, Its been a while since I checked it, but I have done the wiggle test recently (since I heard the squeek) and I had no wobbling, Nice and tight.

Charlie, i'll check the brake line. Pretty sure its far from my wheel (18" wheels), but its worth a look.


Keep the suggestions coming. It really sounds brake related.

Just got out from under the teener, My cyclic noise was related to brake pad venting being incorrect. Inside pad had to little clearance and was rubbing every rotation. As for yours I would suggest checking the venting clearance and then dig in from there until you find something questionable.
