944 plate lift ?

[pcn1]

When gently applying the brakes I get a strange noise from the back of the car. At first I thought it might be the suspension just gently creaking, but it only happens when braking, not going over bumps in the road. Its hard to disscribe but its one noise followed by another straight away. In my mind I picture the pads are binding and then being moved causing the noise. Could this be the plate lift problem talked about often ?

When I had it on my the rear brakes of my 968 they squealed like a pig at low speeds and you could feel them binding. Also, the car didnt roll back as easily.

Not sure about your sound though. I guess the easiest was would be to jack the car up and see how free the wheel is or take it off and investigate.

Best to get the car jacked up, remove the wheel and have a close look at the calipers. If you are careful not to damage the pad material you should be able to ease the pad backing plates away from the disk. If this can be done easily it's probably not plate lift. If the plates are solid, then it probably is. Alternatively undo the clips that hold the pads in place and see if you can withdraw the pads from the calipers. Again if you can - no problem. If you can't - probably plate lift. I had it on my '89 S2 and ended up removing the calipers and the plates and refurbishing the calipers - all four!

Plate lift?

I'm getting some s2/turbo rear calipers for my 944, is there a fault with them I should be looking out for?
