Hi guys,
2 weeks ago did a full brake job on the front end, including bearings rotors rebuilt calipers, ceramic pads, the works. Found a damaged bearing on driver side, spindle was ok.
Now a faint and not so faint at times high pitch squeal has devleoped when driving. It goes away the moment I hit the brakes. It does not seem to be causing the truck to pull at all to either side. I suspect I have a pad that is not pulling away far enough but why? I'm guessing either not enough adhesive was used on the back of the pads, or the caliper is sticking in the slides. Can that goofy anti-rattle spring be the culprit? Any thoughts?
Maybe the rebuilt caliper is bad? Maybe bearing adjustment has loosened? Any thoughts on what it could be? If it's the adhesive can I just scrape off what I can and add new adhesive?
Any thoughts? Frustrating I don't want to get into the whole brake job again but it looks like I'm going to be doing just that.
