Danny350z Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 So last Friday and Satrday my 350z was in having the rear clicky axle fixed. Since I've got it back I'm now getting an annoying squeak whenever I brake (and I have a feeling they're not as responsive as they were before they went in) and it's been gradually getting louder and louder each day. I assumed brakes were worn but the pads were only replaced 2000miles ago and it seemed a bit of a coincidence that it was fine before the rear axle went in to be fixed and now it's started squeaking afterwards. Took it back to the dealer and they said it was just because they'd applied brake cleaner when they did the axle and it would need some time to bed in and the squeaking to stop. But as I said, it's just gotten progressively louder and on top of that, it continues briefly after I stop braking. Have they buggered something up whilst fixing the axle?

lomoto Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 may want some copperslip grease on rear of pads if they have removed any with "brake cleaner " ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they meant they cleaned the calipers and discs whilst they were doing the axle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they meant they cleaned the calipers and discs whilst they were doing the axle? ask them to refit the pads with copperslip grease to rear of pads this generally stops any pad noise, not really squeaking ,but high pitch vibration ..the grease damps this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny350z Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Thanks. Is there any reason the noise would continue after braking has stopped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Thanks. Is there any reason the noise would continue after braking has stopped? have you got plenty of pad material left, there is a pad limit sensor on the Zed that makes a right racket when the pads are getting low on friction material ??
