Squeak/Creak when braking - Discs and Pads changed

[andybell1979]

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has come across this issue before? When I brake the is a pretty loud squeak/creak noise coming from the OSF wheel, there is also some wheel wobble. The discs and pads have been changed and the discs are true apparently.

The MOT was passed as the braking efficiency is fine, he just wan't sure what it is without a more detailed inspection.

Wondered if anyone else had come across this problem? I'm hoping to try fix it myself if possible.

The car is a Peugeot 206 1.1 2005 model.

Thanks, Andy

Thanks all, sounds like it could be this.

Is there a permanent fix for it or is it a case of new bits, I.E calipers and pads?

Thanks, Andy.

I know Peugeot like to use torx fittings, does anyone know what size is required for the caliper bolts? Will it be T55 or something round about that size?

Bit of an update on this one.

So I stripped everything down and got to work with my wire brush, the caliper yolks were pretty corroded and had some rust build up where the pads slide, chipped this off and filed them so it was all smooth again. I had the guide pins out, again there was a little rust so these were wire brushed re-greased and out back in.

Some of the little clips that hold the pad into the caliper were broken so I'm not sure if this was part of the issue but its a whole new set of pads to get some new clips. I also had the discs off to clean up and re grease the hubs, no signs of any build up of rust on those.

So I put everything back together and went out on a test run. There was still some slight judder, I'm braking from above 50 mph it's pretty severe. But the annoying squeak/creak had gone.......or so I thought, did around 15 - 20 miles or so and it slowly came back and ended up just as bad as it was when I started.

It must be something to do with the brakes as it went away. I just can't work out whats causing it.

I think that's the next thing I'm going to change.

Process of elimination now I think!

Hi,

The wobble is only under braking, normal driving is fine, no wobble at all. It doesn't pull to one side either when braking.

Next job is the drop links so I'll do a bit more checking around that area when I have everything off again.

Thanks, Andy.

I haven't, but I may just give it a go!

Only when safe to do so that is...........

These aren't 'new' they have had plenty of time to bed in gradually, I'd say a good 1500 miles.
