Brakes chirping Brakes new pads and rotors done although did not need it. Chirps, rubs when rolling quits when pedal is applied but resums when I let off.
Anti rattle plates in caliper are damaged/missing if new can't be sourced thin smear of silicon on rear of pad will stop this( allow silicon to dry before reinstalling pads)

As a general rule, if the wheel shakes when you apply the brakes, the front disk rotors are warped. If the brake pedal pulses when you apply brakes, the rear brake rotors are warped. So you most likely have warped rear brake rotors. The noise may be that the wear indicators on the brake pads are touching the disks, indicating that you need new brake pads. Given both of these, I suggest a trip to the local brake repair centre is needed.
It is possible that the broken tab is your problem because the tabs keep the hardware from moving, especially when you apply the brakes. To determine if this is the case, remove the tire,brake caliper, brake pads, and hardware. Put one of the lug nuts(or two if needed) back on to hold the rotor in place. Spin the rotor by hand and listen for that chirping sound. If you don't hear it, the hardware is the problem. If you can still hear it, check that metal plate that protects the back side of the rotor to make sure its not bent and rubbing against rotor. Also check that nothing is rubbing on the trans-axle(if its front-wheel drive). If all is well in these two places, the only thing left that spins in that area is the wheel bearing. They usually make more of a grinding or roaring sound but sounds can be tricky.. I am a mechanic for a car rental company and often have to diagnose problems by the sound they make. I hope this info is helpful.
Don't separate the caliper into 2 pieces. If the brake PAD is RUBBING where its not supposed to, that's a different story completely. If they are ONLY rubbing the face of the rotor, that's their job. If they are grinding, squeaking or banging when applied they are usually loose & could be rubbing in the wrong place. By the way, why do you want to bleed your brakes? I suggest if you have the right equipment, and your sure the pads are NG, nowadays get a new set of pad & R/R the rotors too. If your in need of a brake fluid svc, your better off having someone do it on a lift. PS Don't forget to get brake pad spray for the pads when & if you do this job! You don't sound 100% sure, maybe you better off getting the whole thing done for you. No offense but I cant tell from here. Good Luck Stay in Touch [email protected]
sounds like a brake pad warning clip is making contact with the rotor applying brakes presses pad and quiets the noise. have pad wear checked by mechanic.
I dont think it's a break pedal it's probley pads or rear shoes, there are mmetal sencers that rub on the rotor when the pads get thin thats probley what your hearing check your brakes.
worn out brake pads and slightly warped rotors. Most brake pads have small steel tabs that touch the rotor at a 90 degree angle when it is time for replacement. if you keep driving on the worn pads, it will stop chirping but that just means the tabs (also called wear indicators) have broken off and repair is about to get very pricey.
If you can hear a squeak from the brake it is an indicator attached to the brake pad to let you know it is time to change pads. If it is not releasing you will generally have a pull to that side when driving. Disc brakes do not move away from the rotor as drum brakes do from the drum. They only apply pressure to the rotor or release pressure but stay in contact with it. The squeak is designed to keep you from running the brakes down to where the rotor would be damaged.
Sounds like your brake calibers are sticking. Get new ones and new pads. You probably should get new rotors also because with the dragging calibers they most likely got hot and are warped. Search on ebay and www.rockauto.com . I personally use power stop drilled and slotted rotors with mid grade pads. You can probably get a whole kit.
