Breaks squeel but pads not low?, and more.... Options

[snflupigus]

I pulled my front wheels off just now because my right front break has developed a squeel while breaking soft. it was worse a month ago than it is now so i figured I'd better get in there before i neglect it too long. squeel than no squeel usually means the squeeker is gone and you've waited to long right??

The thing is, upon inspection it looks like there is plenty of pad left?? - also, if my front was converted to 911 front suspension would it definately have 5 lug hubs or could some items be changed and not others? That is probably a really retarded question that i could find the answer to on the boards somewhere but while i'm typing... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

and my right front hub spins like a top with 0 resistance but a slight shhhh scrape at one point on the turn... if i set it in motion it seems like it will never stop.

however, the left front spins with more resistance and doesnt keep going for as long... and the shhhhhhh is present durring a larger part of the rotation than the right.

Next time you drive the car, make a quick stop with your hands off the wheel. If it pulls one way or the other it means one of the pistons in the caliper opposite the turn is sticking. If it pulls to the right, the problem is in the left caliper.

The squeeling could be many things. You can buy anti squeel stuff at the FLAPS. Permatex makes stuff in a spray can that you spray on the back of the pads. I you overhaul the calipers and don't properly position the pistons it can cause a squeel. You can also buy break grease that is spread on the edges of the pads. The squeel is from the pads vibrating in the caliper. I got the same problem with my car and am still working on it. Good luck.
