New brakes, rubbing noise and rattle

Welcome to 2CarPros.

My first suspect is the brake hardware wasn't installed correctly or is rubbing. Or the backing plate is bent and rubbing the rotor.

I would check those things first and let me know what you find.

Joe

They checked couldn t find. The rubbing sound only appears at low speeds.

Welcome back:

If you are able to hear this from inside, is there a way you could record it and upload it for me to hear? Since this just started since the brakes were replaced, it has to be related. Also, were both front and rear brakes replaced? Were rotors also replaced?

Let me know.

Joe

Kind of hard to record it. It s definitely coming from the drivers side front. When I compared to other side it appears it isn t installed right or maybe wrong part because the hardware(metal bracket) that holds the pad in place has some give to it. On side of the caliper I can see through the wheel the bracket isn t contacting pad and has some spring to it when I push against it, on the passenger side it looks like the bracket is touching pad there is no play. My guess is the pads wrong size or installed wrong and is moving when I brake. Bringing it back to shop Saturday.

That doesn't sound right. Can you upload pictures? Also, does there seem to be any excessive heat from the side producing the noise after driving?

Since the one clip seems loose, I question if a slide is stuck and the outer pad isn't actuating. Thus, the pad and hardware appear loose.

Let me know. Also, I can provide directions for removal and install if it will help. You can take things apart and confirm they are together properly or what is wrong.

Let me know.

Joe

Thanks Joe. I m not handy enough that s why I take it to shop, going back tomorrow.

No problem. Let me know what they tell you. Also, after driving and parking the car, just see if you notice any heat radiating from the suspected wheel.

Take care and have a good weekend,

Joe
