Lawless Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Basically my front break on the passenger side started squealing and squeaking so we took the calliper off lubed up the pistons and tool out the old pads to find the pad on the inside of the calliper was bent the pad was coming off of the metal backing so changed the pads and have driven it about 3-4 days and the same thing has happend the previous pads were fitted by my local garage and these by myself yet the same thing has happend again on the same pad made sure everything was as it should be Aswel don't see why it's happening or what's causing it Any help appreciated Thanks Sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 WHat condition is the disc in? As your ment to do discs and pads at the same time really! If the pad was that nakered... I can only imagine the disc would be fooked as well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can only imagine the disc would be fooked as well!The disk seemed to be ok didn't appear to be warped or have any cracks in it or anything but I'm no mechanic so you think it could be the disks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 You got a siezed or sticky caliper ? Pads not jammed in or that ?You can do pads without discs, but if doing discs youre ment to change pads too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawless Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Well I serviced the callipers when I changed the pads greased up the pistons and they were all making freely and everything went back as it should and its bent and destroyed a new pad in a matter of days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Does it judder or pull under heavy braking ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawless Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Makes a strange noise sometimes juddered slightly but nothing major ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Sounds like warped discs dude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rinseep82 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Sounds like the disc is warped all your calumets are tight aren't they. Haven't worked loose or anything Sounds like the disc is warped all your calipers are tight aren't they. Haven't worked loose or anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawless Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Definitely all tight checked the whole lot over twice on each side if it was a warped disk wouldn't it affect pads on both sides of the disk not just the one side ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Does the pad slide freely in the carrier? - sounds like it could be sticking at one side. These rust up easily and grip the pads too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawless Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Yea mate the padd slides freely in the carrier everything would appear as it should be I just serviced the callipers aswel all greased up everything's sliding well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Bit of copper slip on the back of the pad, against the piston. Sometimes works sometimes doesnt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawless Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Thanks for input everyone but I'm convinced its not the calliper gonna try putting disks on the front new pads see how it goes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 This is a really odd one!! A pad breaking off it's backing would suggest massive overheating (ie caliper sticking on - due to sticky sliders, sticky pistons or sticking-pads). But you say it's ok? By the way you should make sure you never get normal mineral oil or grease on brake rubber seals as it can perish them, lubricate the pistons with brake fluid when you put them in the caliper.... MASSIVE wheel bearing failure might do this too in theory, but the wheel would be all over the place so you'd notice. Or crash. Stripped caliper bolt - tightening slightly then slipping "loose" again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LeeG Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Or the lining inside the flexi pipe is starting to fail causing the fluid to flow into calliper but not return. Had that happen on mines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawless Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 The pads not totally breaking off the backing its bending the backing away from the pad on the top part of the pad on the inside of the disk All the sliders and pistons are lubricated and would seem to be moving freely Just don't want to she'll out for disks when it could well be the calliper itself ? As to checking the lining in the flexi pipe how would I do this Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
