streamer Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 heya.... when i drive my car, with the windows down, at speeds around 30 - 40km/h, there is a screech screech screech kinda sound. frequency increases with speed. i kinda figured maybe one of the brake discs were warped and were periodically just rubbing themselves on the brake bad henceforth the screeching cause under braking, the sound doesnt come. could it be nething else? only happened recently when i got the front shockies changed.

nismoman18 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 u got the same problem as me, dont know wat it is im hoping in my case its warped discs and metallic pads, im gettin sum normal use pads to see if it stops, if not then maybe a complete brake rebuild new discs etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/25194-screech-screech-screech/#findComment-536294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craved Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 have you had the disk machined yet? not sure what sound is like, but were the shocks them same as what was replaced? if not the wheel might be warped and rubbing on the shock... what kind of clearance is there???

JimX Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Some pads (probably factory pads, not sure but mine had them either way) have a metal bracket on the inside, which touches on the metal disc when the pad gets low. This will make a metallic screeching noise which is really annoying. Either the noise itself is meant to be the warning or it was originally designed to hook up to a circuit like on some cars (but not apparently on Skylines) that show a light in the dash to tell you when the pads are low. Screeching could be many things, this is just one possibility. Usually it's glazing or something.
