Annoying Sound!

[Bl@cK-TeZZ@]

Hi bros, would appreciate if could kindy help me on this. There a like 'shih shih' sound, something harsh grinding from the left front wheel of my car when i drive. Noticed it when i just roll/coast slowly but when i drive fast can't hear it. I've check the wheel area inside, there's nothing obstucting the wheel or whatsoever stuck there. What could be the problem?

maybe the brek pad..

 

[Bl@cK-TeZZ@]

I suspect the brake pad or the piston is slightly jammed. Anyway, going to TOM'S Bangsar tmrw morning to check.

most probably ur caliper needs to service.... jammed caliper syndrom......

 

[Bl@cK-TeZZ@]

Problem fixed, one of the piston was jammed...so the inner braked pad makan habis till the metal plate(that created the sound). Repaired using caliper repair kit and changed new brake pad.

Aycy,

I cant really imagine what the sound is like thru ur description. But i solved a a lot of noise problems when i changed my suspension bushings to TRD. This especially if you have upgraded ur suspension. Dont need to change all bushings coz not necessary.

My remaining noise problems is click click sound (sound like the brake pad is longgar) in the rear..
and also some vibrating sound somewhere near the air cond or dashboard or maybe glove box. comes n goes though. Anyone know how to solve or what to check? Its not the servo arms coz apparently according to trial, servo arm noise sound is different.

(sorry to hijack this thread..hehe)
