Creaking Under Braking

<< < (2/2)

mjmallia:
Brake creaking is due to the caliper slide pins not being lubricated/dry and also dirty.

I periodically removed one at a time, clean, lubricate and refit.........noise then disappears.

I haven't heard it for ages now but I bet it comes back at some point.  I agree with the guy above, because when the pads are cleaned and lubed the noise goes away, but does come back eventually.

I am considering a rear brake refurb when it comes back and see if that keeps it away. Plus the paint has flaked off a bit on the near side so it will make them look better too
