Brakes help

[DJDannyB]

The other day i noticed my drivers side hair pin on the caliper had come out of the top hole, i took the wheel off and put it all back how it should be and the brakes have been fine. Tonight ive noticed when im braking the brakes are making a grinding horrible noise and squeeking sometimes too! What could this be?? the pads have loads left on them. Could it be the rear drums?? I dont really have a clue what it is but im sure its not right...

cheers

anyone?

[Saxo_Steveo]

stupid question . . . Is it front or back grinding?? And has your caliper seized?

[DJDannyB]

Erm i think its the front brakes.. seems like its coming from the front, and it cant be seized the car is driving fine..

Try taking the pads out and put some copper grease on the back of them.

[saxokid100]

copper grease is the stuff you need........:y:

[DJDannyB]

really? ive got some so ill do it tomorrow. I thought it was something a lot worse lol.. sounds horrible! So just take out the pads and put copper slip grease on the back of them all???

just give the backs of the pads a wire brush and coat of caopper grease if it still does it then the discs may of warped

[DJDannyB]

ok cool, ill give it a go and if no luck then ill have to splash out on some discs lol :( how much are they around?

[Hpi_matrix]

I thought it was something a lot worse lol.
