The noise is primarily coming from the front right wheel well, but I can't really tell if the front left is bad because the other side is so loud. I have read about how to fix it, but I am hesitant to mess with my brakes and delve into things I have little experience in.
Below is a link to the problem and the recommended fixes. If you can make it stop, I am willing to compensate you.

69 obviously you didn't read it past that... if you read a little further you'll notice how everyone is saying its completely unnecessary to change the caliper and if you do change it, it's likely to come back. 2/17/2006 9:14:49 PM |

^^^AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHahahahahahaha... oh...and I read a helluva lot of it. The point is, how in the blue fuck do you warp a caliper piston?
Seriously...I can do this if gk2004 backs out. Although I've got more than enough to keep me busy lately.

you need to turn your rotors and put some high quality pads on there too. 2/18/2006 7:21:11 AM |

If your going to tear it apart to lube the pins you might as well throw some pads and turn the rotors, Its not just a matter of putting a few globs of grease on the caliper slides, It needs to be removed,cleaned ,lubed and reinstalled. The same amount of labor do do either. 2/18/2006 10:19:46 AM |
