Dust shields are gone. They make a tinny sound, this is a lot more harsh.

I have just came home from a month at sea yesterday and now when I brake at low speed I get a knocking sound.
At High speed it's like a whine like a wheel bearing but intermittent.
Is that my ABS?

Is there a DIY remedy?
I now have a knocking when braking at low speed and a wheel bearing type of sound braking at higher speed but still intermittent.
Is this ABS?

You can try dismantling the calipers, cleaning and greasing sliders, most of the time the caliper corrodes and lifts the clips the pads sit on so they wont move freely. If its been sat for any length of time prob best having calipers reconditioned/ replaced. I left mine standing for 4 months and had to replace both rear calipers and managed to save the fronts with some cleaning, filing and greasing!!!
Good Luck
