N80Jamie Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Spent today fitting my new discs and pads and everything went alright tbh! Only bits of bother we ran into were the 2 piston like things on the caliper (sorry don't know what's what with brakes ) which are held on with 12mm bolts iirc; they were jammed up and we had to push them out using a fair bit of force. Also found out that i have braided brake lines front and back ahaI took the car out for a short run and the amount of noise coming from the brakes is stupid! It sounds like a metal on metal sound and you can mainly hear it when turning right. Any idea why this is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 did you put some copper slip stuff on the back of the pads if not there is your noise. there vibrating Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I think you may have put the pads in backwards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 I didnt use any copper grease but it doesnt sound like that sort of sound. Also it only realy does it when im turning right? I've managed to get a video where you can just about hear it when im going round a roundabout. Wil upload shortly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 I think you may have put the pads in backwardsThe curved part of the pad is on the outer edge of the disc? Is that right or wrong? lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Heres the viedo. You can hear it slighty when i get onto the roundabout: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 ahhh, that noise. its just the groved bit hitting the pads it's only notice able at low speeds. it will calm down abit once they have bedded in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Only concern i have is that the brakes were making this noise before i fitted the new brakes, not as loud but definitey this noise. And only when turning right. My old brakes were a solid disc with no grooves. Confused.com :| Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnboy GT Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 ahhh, that noise. its just the groved bit hitting the pads it's only notice able at low speeds. it will calm down abit once they have bedded in.Check to make sure you replaced the shims aswell that hold the pads in place.

N80Jamie Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Thats just a scuff, discs will be fine Thank god! haha. I'm unsure what i can do to move the backing plate away from the disc :| Any suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Yeah they'll be good mate, they'll unscore after a bit of braking. Glad its sorted mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
