Any car mechanics here?

any car mechanics here?

I installed new brake pads and rotors , they rub and make sounds while driving ,calipers work
great,I lubed the sliders.

anyone know what could be the cause?

Obligatory Year/Make/Model question before we begin.

>anyone know what could be the cause?
Shitty workmanship I suspect.

Did you lube the slide pins?
Also, are you russian? because only Ladas have rotors where you have to drive the stud into the hub...

did you make sure the piston(s) were fully compressed before you put the brakes back together?

have you also lubed the little metal tracks for the brake pads? This should help. Plus some cars have little metal springs that are there to prevent the pads from rubbing, in this case you could buff the pads so they are a little bit more loose. Then before you unmount anything a spend another hour on this, just raise the car and spin the wheels if they spin freely without abruptly stopping this means there's nothing really to worry about and it should be settling by itself after a few hundred kilometers

Did you check to see if you bent the dust shield behind the rotor? What kind of noise? Only when you apply the brakes or is is constant? If it's constant check the shields behind the rotors. One of them is rubbing.

Caliper prolly needs replaced

Can you read?
It's probably the bearing or cv jointif it does it without the brakes applied

my bad. mazda 3,2007. 1.6i .. I lubed the slide pins and cleaned everything.. it seems like pistons are too far out and keep pads touching slightly.. also i think someone was topping the brake fluid,I took some out to be at max level but still rubbing.. they a little bit hot, not from breaking,from rubbing... hope that makes sense

This. Happened to me the first time I did it, I didn't properly compress the caliper's piston.

Did you seat the pad after install?

If performance isn't affected and the new brakes and rotors squeal then you're Gucci bro. Ceramic pads glaze over due to heat and friction but will soon sound fine. 8 years certified homie

This. Or it could be sticky caliper. I have had it happen where it compresses fine but hangs up. Also very rare but I have seen where the rubber brake line falls apart and acts as a one way check valve letting fluid go to the caliper but having a hard time releasing pressure.

Caliper prolly needs replaced. Or rubber brake lines going to caliper

This.. new, thicker pads. Use a c-clamp or something to push the pistons all the way in and then reassemble. Make sure you pump the brakes a time or two when you're done to reset the pistons...don't wait until you try driving, you may not have any grab the first press.

Has to be the calipers. New pads and rotors, plus greasing them should clear all the dust (which is making the squeaking noise).
If they are still squeak, it may be the axel (vibrating as you are applying the break), or you didn't replace something as you stated...

Mechanic here I've never had to seat a pad. That's usually and old school thing with drum brakes. You have to burnish the shoes to the drums.

Did you bed the pads in? drive moderately and calmy brake to a stop, do it like 5 times. warms up pads and shit stops them glazing and making noise.

I dunno if non bedding in pads exist where you are but basically that COULD be the issue

Definitely could be dust shield. Take pictures of the assembly through the rim for us bro, any issues could be obvious

C-Clamp for compression!!!!!!!

My man see

I compressed them enough so the caliper can fit over the new pads freely.. they need to be pressed all the way in? why?

so that they sit correctly? stop touching your car if you're this retarded

Go to /o/

This

Have you checked the blinker fluid?

I'm sorry I was typing as u posted. My bad. Won't happen again

No I was saying it's good to see someone else with a brain here.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I'm also a mechanic. By necessity. Not by choice

i will check tomorrow.. the sound is similar to driving over a sleep line/rumble strip on the road.. but only at certain angle of the steering wheel,not all the time... also the disk gets hot from rubbing.. the wheel turns by hand when jacked up... i dont know..

Some vehicles have retaining clips at both ends of each pad that the pad slides on when braking and releasing. This clips only go one way even though sometimes they look symmetrical. Common mistake. If you out them on wrong they'll still out and run the rotors all the time, braking or not

this

Fucking phone.
* If you put them on wrong they'll stick out and rub, making a terrible metal on metal sound

You did something wrong but with your autistically vague post lacking any pertinent information, we can't help you. Go drive off a cliff.

Change the ball joint 100% its like >$20

Me too

Easy, when you put on the calipers there are indicator pins/clips attached to the pads. Sometimes those pins bend a little when installing so it's rubbing on the rotor.

Easiest way to tell where is to drive a bit and brake, then let the screech go a little while. The issue will show as a ring on the affected rotor.

The fix is easy, just take the bent indicator off and put the brake back on.

Source: happened to me too, did everything I could to unbend the indicator clip, didn't work...so I just took it off.

I wish my ball joint was less than 20 bucks. Alot of newer cars need to have the whole lower control arm replaced.

backing plate

Check the fucking clips

Are you sure you didn't put the pads in backwards?

This

>Probably a bent dust shield

Front or back brakes? They will be different because rear will have parking brake on them. Assuming rear, do you tension the parking brake correctly or are all?

If front then a little catching will be fine until you bed them in.

This

Go wach ChrisFix

Pics would help. Im guessing its the hardware not seated properly and rubbing on the rotor, or you put the pads on backward? Without pics, hard to tell bra
