Title: Car Squeeks - goes away when braking?
Post by: shoaybmakda on December 17, 2016, 09:35:57 am

Hi all

Noticed this yesterday when driving - any ideas? Had my rear pads done about a year ago and the sound does appear to be coming from the back.

Checked all my pads and they look like they have enough meat on them

Thanks

Intermittent issue - but also noticed my breaks get very spongy

Any ideas? Might just order a full disc and pads set from Euro with their 32% off this weekend and hope that sorts it

Was the rear caliper that was seized just incase anyone else has a similar issue

Yeah had the same issue last year.  Noises from the back, intermittent pedal inconsistency (really sharp at one stop, more pedal pressure required at the next).  I needed both rear calipers replacing!  Seized solid.
