Defo not my wallet opening or the wheel touching the caliper
Yes if the car is jacked up and both wheels off the ground (cant spin 1 wheel cos of the LSD
) can hear the squeak noise.
Adam, i did consider changing the pads but the squeak is ONLY when NOT braking i.e the noise goes away as soon as the pad is pressed onto the disc and only re-appears when the brake pedal hasnt been pressed for 30+ seconds of driving
I did remove the pads and take the surface off with bit of emery cloth and chamfered the edges of the pads but it made no difference at all, soon as i drove down the road the noise was still there
I think i got a set of EBC green pads (yukkk) in the shed so i might try throwning these on the car and see if the noise goes. But i cant understand why the disc is touching the pad and making this noise in the 1st place and why its worse when turning left and noise disapears when turning right
