squeaking wheels??? - Land Rovers Only

tbrisk · 07-17-2008, 11:04 AM

Not much expirence with the maintainence, I have a loud squeaking noise coming from one of the wheels I noticed last night. it wen't away every time I hit the brakes, back on when I was off the brakes. Is it the brake pads wearing down???> Thanks

That would probably be the squeker pad on the brake pad. There is a little metal tab on the bad that squeels when it touches the rotor and goes away during braking. Take the wheel off and look at the thickness of the pads. you should even be able to see the tab. I this is the problem then a brake job is needed.

Wait, I thought that Disco pads didn't have squealers???

If they don't I apologize. Going off of general pads having squeelers.

Stop driving it till you replace your brakes, you are running metal to metal which will kill your rotors.
Atlantic British has a pretty good brake sale going on right now.
