Terrible noise

Fcnismo · 07-28-2021, 11:52 PM

Upgraded to akebono brakes on my roadster with larger tires. I use this car on weekends. When I pull out of the garage the brakes make a loud squeak noise very loud. It awful and my entire block hears it no exaggeration. As I start driving the noise goes away. I changed f/rotors and brake pads. Anyone please help
Thank you

Did you trim the brake rotor shields on the rear?

Check to see that your brake pads are inserted correctly. The metal shim scraping against the rotor will make this noise. I, sadly, know this from personal experience.

If what Rusty and wanker mentioned is not the problem, try bedding the brakes. It's not uncommon for new pads or rotors to squeal due to oils, etc, that get on them during manufacturing.

I changed the rear plate with the upgrade, I checked the pads and rotors multiple
Times. I replaced the pads and rotors cause I thought they might be defective. I had different guys which 1 worked for Nisssn as a tech look into them.
It’s funny cause after some driving the noise goes away.
The rotors are non rusted rotors.
