Annoying brakes :confused:

[fahadwizz]

we have three cars with this sound now in our home
these days im seeing alot of cars with the same sound maybe its because of pathetic brake pad quality

I was thinking the same thing.

Ive been maintaining cars since the last 18 years and i never had this problem until now.

or maybe your beloved mechanic forgot to install the anti rattle clips back on the caliper.

I dont know Xulfiqar, i don't have anything missing. Replaced the discs and still the sound is as it is. Didnt even disappear for 2 days

I am sure its coming from the pads/caliper because it did disappear when i replaced the pads but came back. I regreased the calipers and it disappeared for a few weeks but came back again.

I am just thinking to replace the whole damn hub

[Xulfiqar]

look for little clips on the corners of pads and also on the back of pads, the back ones are installed with a very sticky high temperature compound, the ones on the corners (mounted on pad/caliper carrier bracket) are springy and hold the pad steady so it does not ring or vibrate when not being pressed.

btw when you install new pads you have to gently wear them in for about a week, that way pads will seat into the disc grooves and also not turn into hard coal from overheating.

Actually my Corona's pad didnt have any
Terios Kid' brakes are rattling since its pads were changed in Feb work was done in supervision of a office guy so neither me nor my dad know about it
and positive camber problem
and lastly a cousins office car also rattling brakes its only for a day or two the car will be replaced soon

late reply but - you just shot yourself in the foot, and the bullet will bite you in the butt too, you are never supposed to install used brake pipes, get new ones - you can find them easily, if you cannot get a new set crimped from extreme pressure brake pipe, You could have gone to a toyota showroom parts department for them..

sometimes - PW really amazes me. This also reminded me of a used parts shop in Magazine like Karachi selling "used jenyan EFI fuel filter" for older toyotas - complete with imported junk and crap in them.

btw I have used made in Lalukhet Karachi brake pipes and they work, just make sure that the shop crimping them have a proper hydraulic swage tool.

aaah i remember they day when our teachers pull our ears and gives us alot of punishments, i some times fed up from that but now i know that they do that so we can learn from at anyways back to point, guru g thanks for opening my ears today i return back the used pipes and install new one after hard searching at badami bagh i found oem pair of it now after installing them we bleed all for wheels and now brake is ok n back to original place. ur post really works for me n m really thankfull for that danntt ! m silent reader of ur posts n they really helpfull for me in d.i.ys

now tuk tuk sound. thank GOD i m free from it now first disassemble ur wheel jack up car from that side.start ur car n put on the gear now ask ur mechanic to check they movement of ur rotor i bet it wont be moving straight, i mean u will c tht ur caliper is moving left n right with the rotor, u have to replace ur wheel hub, cz that small hub which sits behind the rotor wont come saperatly, u need to change it completly, rest i give a tool job to rotors too from karadia guy, make sure that ur rotor is straight after that. once u get the hub, install it n test it with same way for her alignment but do it without rotor, once its clear, put everything back n u r free from tuk tuk sound

if you are going to machine down the brake disc make sure the machinist has proper tools for it, it should be tooled from both sides in one go - it ensures the disc remains true, also make double sure you are not going too thin on the discs otherwise they will warp under brake load - check the thickness - it should be stamped on the disc itself.

If you are just removing glaze, use coarse emery cloth to remove the shine and install new pads, I had a more easy way, I made a set of disc pads with soft grinding stones on them, I drove the car around very carefully for about half a km and applied brakes softly and constantly, it removed glaze from the discs..

It is a very high risk procedure because you only have about 20% brake power compared to normal working brakes.

@xulfiqar bhai
How can i check my cars discs width ?
and there is a constant squeak coming from the left side which stops upon braking i'll post photos of the brakes and a video of the squeak tomorrow InshAllah

exact same problem
what does the term warped rotors mean ?
and is it necessary to remove the discs to replace a wheel stud ?

[Xulfiqar]

use a screw gauge or vernier if the discs have no outside ridges to check width. warped rotor = warped disc = bent disc, pick your choice. Wheel studs on any newer Honda are in the hub itself which is behind the disc so yes you need to take it off, takes about zero effort after removing the caliper and carrier.

hmm thanks
got the stud work done by a mechanic (my father doesn't trust me and my brother with tools )
during the process took some photos of the disc will upload now

bump
sok i did some research and found out that the current generation of Corolla has 5 lugs same as my Corona just need to know if it

[fahadsoulsnatcher911]

Bump !
ok were back to where we started
its been an year since we bought the Corona still haven't get the brake problem rectified
Last month my dad friend took the car to Islamabad but before leaving he got the pads and shoes replaced along with brake master cylinder still the sound is present also now the wheel bearing is also making noise

[fahadwizz]

I had the pads replaced and discs cleaned (not tooled). Then i had the pins adjusted and everything else greased. The sound disappeared , its been 2000 kms. I did drive the car in rain n water and its still quite enough. I do hear an occasional khut phut but its much better.

PS pump making noises now

Brake caliper pin fault it has play or brake pad shimm
