Hi everyone

I bought this car a few months back and everything was fine, i then started hearing a squeaking kind of noise on what seemed like every full wheel rotation. I initially thought cheap pads, so i had them replaced, but the noise persists. Im now wondering should i replace my discs too? Do my current discs look glazed to anyone? There is about 1-2mm of a lip on the inside of the discs too.  When i put my hand on the passenger side caliper and push or pull, it makes the noise heard in the attached video, does this maybe resemble loose brake components? Or maybe a ball joint or bushing? 

 

When i move off, or come to a stop,  there is a clicking noise from the front too, no noise when turning though. Im unsure which side as it is hard to pinpoint . Passenger side CV was recently replaced and the boot etc on the drivers side all seems perfectly intact. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance :)

Is it on one side only? 

If it's from one wheel is that brake disc hotter than the rest? I ask as it could be a stuck caliper.

Hello Tristian,

The videos don’t work for me, but judging from the photos, the lip looks sufficient to renew the discs. You have to consider the on going wear situation at the end of the life of the pads you are going to replace. 
Noise? 
If you are intending to buy discs and pads, then I’m currently ‘experimenting’ with Brembo - to good effect. 
You could try Parts in Motion for competitive prices and good service - no personal connection. 
Regards,

Gareth.

Hi Gareth

Thanks for getting back to me. I have actually ordered brembo as I did initially want to see how well they perform, i will definitely have a look into Parts In Motion, never actually heard of it, but definitely wise to look beyond Euro Car Parts. Thanks again, much appreciated
