just did brakes - what is this awful noise?
 
...aside from taking apart and re-assembling, does anyone know off the top of their head what is making this awful sound?
na6 rear hub.
generic rotor.
generic pads.
spacers.
extended studs.
all clips were taken off of the original pads/calipers and reused.
this is the driver's side rear wheel/brake



don't mind the missing lug...

You didn't install something right. Probably one of the clips that the pads ride on.

are you sure the clips are installed right. From memory you could flip thema nd they could contact the rotor.

New guy at my work installed a pad backwards the other day. Different sound, but regardless, take it all apart and double check everything.

i guess it probably is the clips. ty ty

it was the dust shield up against the rotor

Braineack 06-24-2013 11:06 AM

dammit, i was just about to suggest that also might be rubbing...

phillyb 06-24-2013 11:08 AM

i got under there with a hammer and hammered it back into place as best i could without a jack or stands...or taking the wheel off.

we grinded and banged it a ton yesterday to get the extended studs in...
completely neglecting how that may impact fitment of other things. whoops.

thats what i was thinking... my RR brake is making a chirping noise, annoying the piss out of me... pads and rotors are good.. thinking it may be a dust shield as well
