Hi guys,
I recently started hearing a squeaking noise coming from the brakes (or at least I think its the brakes) while driving. Once I press on the brakes it goes away. If I lightly press the brakes it squeals a little louder and then goes away. Its hard to tell what side it is coming from but I'm thinking its the front passenger. It is definitely speed related, starting from a stop you can hear the frequency of squeaking increase as speed increases. Turning the steering wheel to the right makes the squeaking go away, turning it to the left makes it get louder.
The car has Hawk HPS pads, Eibach Pro Springs and MM Camber plates as far as brakes/suspension goes.
I picked up some brake cleaner today and will see if that takes care of the problem, I'm hoping its maybe something stuck a little. The brakes work fine and I dont have any issue slowing down, the noise just bugs the heck out of me. Driving around and having a constant squeak until you brake makes me feel like I own a cheap car .
Has anyone else had this issue before? Any tips? What should I do if the brake cleaner doesnt work?
Thanks guys,
Dan
