Ep3 Type R screeching from brakes?

[Dr-Sie]

Hello lads. Iv had my 03 civic since 2009 and it's been running fine. Maybe about 5 years ago I changed all the brake discs and pads myself, I'm mechanically good with diy etc. Recently last week my driver side rear wheel had started to make a screeching sound even in reverse but worse. I noticed the noise happen more when weight was transferred to that wheel whenever I turned left while driving. When applying the breaks the noise disappears. It's been a week now and the noise is constant driving in a straight line. Now if my understanding of how brakes work is correct, shouldn't this noise be happening when applying the brakes? Is it something else? I don't abuse my brakes. Pads have got plenty of thickness and the discs barely have any signs of wear- hardly any lip showing

Thank you very much for the input, I'm new here. I thought as much. Going to clean off any dirt or rush off then and use some copper paste in any areas where it need applying

Sorted. I'll look at mine now, the weather had been crap lately

Hello lads. Just a few days after my last post I made a video of the problem that I was getting it's in the link. I still haven't fixed it yet, looking after my kids all the time and Iv only just had tools, bits and bobs delivered through amazon. However I did take the wheel off and there was less scraping but it's back to square one. https://www.dropbox.com/s/6ydrdun8v4ckli4/Video%20...

Yh there was definitely some heat transferred to the alloy. I had a pretty good idea what the issue was so I bought lubes beforehand etc. It was the bottom sliding bolt on the calliper that had a stiffy. Cleaned it up, silicone greased it, jobs a good'un. The inner side pads were badly worn uneven, the wear indicator was causing the noise. Went to Euro carparts yesterday, got there at 4pm and they were bloody closing up the store. Iv ordered complete discs and pads for all 4 wheels off eBay now. Had to do a temporary cowboy job by filing the wear indicator down by a few mill and slapping them back on. The piston looks like it was working in good condition. It was pumping in and out with the brake pedal. And I screwed it all the way back in. I also may have a slight warp in the disc, it's not visible as I turn it on the hub. Getting small amounts of rubbing from the pads but that could just be the crap pad I put back on. Drives well for now.
