squeak
 

i have an awful squeak coming from the driver side at first i thought it was the front wheel now i think its the rear. the inner part of the rim is peeling and was scraping but i cut all the peices off and it seems to sqeak worse. if it needs rotors n pads would it cause this?

Re: squeak
 

Huh??? :confused:

Re: squeak
 

Hi the pads have steel squealers on them to let you know it time to replace them before they get to far down and wreck the rotor. If your pads are down to about 3/16 that could be what your noise is.

yea the inner part of the rim is peeling so i trimmed the peices off that peeled. but its gotta be the brakes. but it does it even when i dont apply the brakes. ill just be driving down the road and it sqeaks absolutely drives me crazy!!!

Re: squeak
 

The brakes can squeal without applying them. It sounds like it's time to check them out!

Re: squeak
 

if the inner part of the rim is peeling you probably have more wrong than just worn brake pads. Better have a mechanic or someone more knowledgeable look at the problem

Re: squeak
 

could possibly be your hubs. how many miles you got on your truck? i just had mine replaced at 61k on tuesday. before they would squeal and make a lose metal kind of noise whenever the wheels revolved. it was really noticeable at low speeds.

Re: squeak
 

Big Z im hoping that isnt the problem! but what you described sounds like my problem. ugghh it has 100k on it. how much are hubs?

Re: squeak
 

Hi brake pads can squeal all the time without the brakes applied if they are worn down to the squealers that is how they work. To let you know they need replacement.

Re: squeak
 

Change your hubs and it will feel like a New truck... I am on my 3rd set at 105,xxx miles... Price depends on where you buy them, I've seen them from $170-$390 a piece...
I know its the last thing everyone wants to hear $$. If you search old posts about squeeking, squeeling, metal noise, clunking, coming from the front... 9 out of 10 times the final result was bearing replacement after days of blaming the brakes and changing pads, triming brakes shields. It's not a tuff fix if you have the tools.
