Just wondering if anyone can help please?
The car is a 2001 HDI 166K with lucas front calipers, there is a really annoying constant squeak at low speeds. The discs and pads are not that old, but they were cheap one from euro car parts.
I have had the caliper off cleaned it all up and copper slipped everything that needs doing. Only thing i noticed was that the dust seal on the piston was split quite badly, so wondering if any dirt and shite has got in there and it is sticking slightly? Or maybe the disc is slightly warped?
The squeak is not there when you first set off and for the first mile or so, but starts as the brakes warm up.
The squeak disappears when you touch the brake pedal, and i mean touch, just rest your foot on it, or if you move the steering wheel ever so slightly to the left just 1/2 an inch off centre, also as you increase the speed. The squeak is worst at 30 - 45 mph.
I have a new caliper (well from the scrappy)
Does anyone else have any ideas what could be the problem
