Got a question guys. I noticed a strange squeaking noise coming from somewhere in the front wheels. It usually starts about 30 min after I drive the car, and it is usually associated with either breaking, going over a bump on the road or steering. I thought it was a strut, but the noise is not replicated when I press on the side of the car myself. Also, the car tends to pull right when I press the break, so I am thinking its my right break caliper making the noise after it warms up from breaking while driving and begins to freeze when I let go of the break. Any ideas guys? Did anyone experience anything like this?

 

If it pulls to the right under braking, it might be the LEFT caliper losing effectiveness.

 

I would not mind changing both calipers if necessary, I just wanted to know if calipers can also make that type of noise?

 

Brakes can make that sound - maybe check the pads are greased in the proper places (not just everywhere). If pads are installed without any grease, they can squeak when brakes are applied. If that's it, just dismantle & properly grease them - no need for new calipers.

But that doesn't really explain the squeaking over bumps when you're not braking.

 

Thanks. I love my car, but squeaks drive me crazy!
