Squeak Squeak goes my wheel

[kelner]

So when my car is cold I have this rather annoying squeak comming from the front passenger side (best I can tell). It's dependent on the speed of the car and not rpms and when you come to a stop the noise will stop. So I know that it is not a belt. It does not sound like a wheel bearing (rocks or marbles clattering as I have experienced in other vehicles). I replaced the pads and rotors about 2 months ago and this started about 2 weeks ago. I don't know if it is break related or not? The anti-squeal piece for my brakes was not there when I did the brakes, but I thought that was to only stop squealing when braking (an issue I do not have)?

Any ideas out there? Thanks for the help, you guys have been a wonderful resource.

perhaps the slider part of the caliper is seized. try cleaning that up

did you lubricate the slider pins when you did the brakes?

No I did not. Is that the bolt-throughs that hold the caliper in place?

yeah that bolt on the bottom and the pin on the top that the caliper slides on to. there is a special kind of lube that you must use, I think Permatex makes some.

Special for the car or in general? Pick it up at the local parts store?

Thanks for the help.

I just use either silicone paste or copper anti-seize in those slides. Never had a problem.

special just as in it is made for brakes. i got some at Napa, it was near all the RTV sealant and stuff like that. It's only a couple bucks.

Thanks guys, I'll give it a shot this weekend. It seems to be getting worse. Can any damage come from this? I just took lunch from work and it kept on the whole 15min drive to and from (30min total) where I went to eat.

yes id say just use a bit of copper grease. perhaps if you have the time and money you could buy a calliper reseal kit from toyota aswell. I know there cheap enough. iirc there £30 in the uk.

1 other thing you may want to try if this doesnt cure the problem.

Remove the pads and check them for heavy glaze. if present a bit emery paper will cure it. Then cut a grove into the pad with a hack saw. across the narrowest part of the pad. ive done this before aswell and it seemed to work well. (i didnt do this on a supra though)

ive always used the gray permatex anti-seize on the caliper slides. my brakes are squeaking like a houseful of mice in a tornado every time i stop. with the brembo rotors and porterfield pads, i had expected this so im just dealing with it, but i think im gonna try some disc brake quiet and check it all for glazing.

I had a squeak here a while back after a pad & rotor change.

Turned out that the one of the pad springs had fallen out and was pinched between the pad and the rotor.

i didnt even have pad springs when i went to change my brakes. damn.

It seems to have stopped for the moment? which is weird, braking seems fine. There was an extreme drop in temp today (20 degrees or so)

 

[kelner]

it's been on and off (more on than off tho). Anyways my friends say it sounds like it's comming from the driveshaft? Any chance on ujoints or loose driveline causing this sound?

EDIT: I'll br brief my roommate is trying to sleep. I haven't been able to grease the brake shims yet, which I still plan on doing, but fun, girlfriend and school come first.
