Can hear slight creaking at low speed braking

ZZZ_2306 · 07-21-2014, 07:42 AM

Any ideas? Only noticed it tonight with the window down and radio off but at very low speed and break I can hear a slight creaking from under Neath the chassis any ideas?

It wasn't there before I had my wheels refurbed today, well I don't think it was but it could have been, any initial idea?

Anyone else got any thoughts on this? Don't hear it in reverse on brakes and dont hear it going forward under heavy breaking, just a light creaking at low speed breaking.

Someone may have put their fingers on the rotors/pads and transferred some oil/dirt. Try a few 60-5 mph "panic" stops to burn off the contamination.

if it's not the brakes might be your swaybar bushings.
