Lala81 Hypersonic July 24, 2022 Share July 24, 2022 Lol was driving my car to work. Then on the xoressway slip road started hearing this grinding racket. First thought is I got a flat again and the rim is scrapping the floor. Reached work but no flat. Nothing dragging from under carriage. Racket continuous as long as wheels are running. Lol sounds horrible. Gotta go work shop tomorrow. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My front brake pads were changed and my rear ones still 50% few months ago when I got my flat tire. And the sound is there without braking. The screeching sound of the brakes at the middle part is likely some irregular surface of the rotor or brake pad which doesn't affect the brakes.

Ct3833 Supersonic July 24, 2022 Share July 24, 2022 (edited) It could be parking brake pads, or some objects get stuck around the brake rotor area . A jack up by mechanic should be able to diagnose the cause quickly. It could be a losen brake dust cover as well.

Mkl22 Twincharged July 24, 2022 Share July 24, 2022 I once had a pebble stuck between the brake disc and the dust shield. All the mech did was to rotate the wheel in the opposite direction and the pebble fell out. maybe you can try to reverse if you have not already done so. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ct3833 Supersonic July 24, 2022 Share July 24, 2022 @Lala81, you can rotate the wheel to the extreme right and look at the brake assembly area from the front of the front wheel, then rote the same to the extreme left and check from the rear of front wheel to see if there is anything obvious. . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopites Supersonic July 24, 2022 Share July 24, 2022 Sound came on when you released the excel pedal? And disappeared when you press on (excel)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobayashiGT Internal Moderator July 25, 2022 Share July 25, 2022 Quite loud thou. If you cannot find the issue, then you need a better sound system to mask away the sound. Mark can settle this. Mark levinson. 🤣 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vratenza Supersonic July 25, 2022 Share July 25, 2022 (edited) last time I kenna this weird sound (less metallic) similar in presentation, when I move have sound when I reverse also have but softer... detoured to a carpark and peered underneath, got a large tree branch stuck under the carriage....

I had that issue on my Japanese car years back.. the life span of the wheel bearing probably reached the EOL… Some sides are more susceptible, probably because the wheel which clipped Kerbs more often Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic July 25, 2022 Author Share July 25, 2022 (edited) OK. Was driving out of my estate to go to sin Ming workshop with the racket, heard a thuck sound and then the sound changed. No longer so grinding (metal/metal sound). Then drove out onto main road heading to sin Ming. Sound came back again then completely disappeared. Seems to be gone for good. I just took the car for a good fifteen min drive. Seems OK. So instead drove to Teck ghee market to dabao. Maybe some bolt got loose or gravel stone got caught and started grinding up against the moving parts. Ah well... 7.5 year old car, let sleeping dogs lie. If got daiji again then see how lol.

Once I kept hearing something that kept sounding like something hitting my wheel arches. Lol checked my tyres OK. Then went to examine the groves of the tire, got a cable tie wedged in the Groove acting like a whip lol. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol sounds horrible. Gotta go work shop tomorrow. I kena something similar b4. Initially sounded like exhaust pipe came loose. Checked undercarriage no problemo. Checked pads & rotor, nothing was loose. Dumbfounded, i drove it to PA immediately. They removed wheels, cleaned up the rotors w jet spray n noise disappeared after that. They said probably some small pebble stuck between rotor n disc. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be worried about the bolt that got loose enough to rub against a moving part and suddenly stopped.....it could not have re-tightened itself for sure 😅 especially when it comes to the suspension/brake assembly, better to send it in for a thorough check to be safe. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
