Btw it's squealing when driving. Not when breaking.

B

Did u just do the brakes?

Noterminator

No but previous owner said the pads, brakes and rotors are all new. It squeaks/ squeals loudly when driving, but stops when I apply the brakes.

Noterminator

Only drove a very short distance.

U need to make sure the wear sensors on the pads are not touching the rotors take a peak and see of the pads are really close to the rotors.

If your handy you could also take the caliper off make sure sliding pins and pads move freely on the bracket .

Sounds like wear sensors ,but hard to say when not looking at it

Noterminator

I'll have to check that tomorrow or Saturday. My car isn't stored at my house. And didn't wanna drive it like that.

B

Yeah if it is wear sensors don't want them cutting up the rotor!!

Noterminator

Yea I don't know though, previous owner knows cars pretty well, and all. So I think everything should be good with fitment, but I'll check.

Noterminator

Got a few guys thinking it's a sticking caliper. I guess it's common on these cars. My 02 GT never had issues, but then again when I let her go she only had 27,000 miles on her. Makes me wish I'd kept her. But sh!t happens.

Could be ,could have worn the pads down causing the sensors to hit! Good luck!!

Noterminator

Pads aren't worn. Like I said they are new and perfect. Already checked them. It feels tight too. Just might need a new caliper. Gonna have to take a better look either tomorrow after work or this weekend.

I'll go with bad caliper!

I second worn caliper!

Use a laser thermometer to measure the hottest rotor after driving some miles, there's the bad caliper.

These cars have problems with the sliders locking up- check that, as well as the anti-rattle clip things being off and hitting the rotor.

Time for a big brake kit!
