Another brake related problem!!!

i thought getting new pads and replacing that bad pad that had a broken clip would fix it. the noise is coming i think from the right front. its like a sqeaking, cricket sound. its like a tapping non stop sound when im going like 30 and if i press the brakes normal it will go away. if i tap like slightly and hold it in that position slightly then i can really hear that cricket tapping sound. its very weird.

it even does it at 10mph. it makes a noise everytime the wheel turns, if i tape the brake lightly and hold it i can hear the brake linkage or something squeak and make a fast tapping sound. if i hold down the brake harder going faster the noise will go away. what is it the caliper? its something in there on the front right side

How old are the rotors? Consider this if the rotors have more than 15K miles:

I got the EXACT same symptoms can somebody help? It only does it 5 mins after driving and doesn't happen when it rains. I thought the problem would go away after I changed the pads and rotors but it didn't work.

i have got brand new rotors and pads if you guys read my last thread for the wheel shaking and clips broke off. I thought the noise was related to that brake pad wear indicator. the clip/spring clips into the loop, but its not. Its a very annoying sound as the wheel turns you can hear like a squeak in the motion like every half second as the wheel makes its round. if i slightly press brake pads and hold it not like hard i can hear the sound like a wiggling cricket sound that is tapping very fast.

Is it possible the dust shield was accidentally bent and is touching the rotor?

ya but if i press the brakes hard the noise will go away while in motion. if i press the brakes lightly and hold i have this squeaky tapping sound very rapidly. its gotta be somewhere on that caliper area.

Are the shims installed?

Might need to take apart the caliper to see if anything is sticking. Could be dust seals/boots

Have you tried taking it to the dealer for warranty work?

There was a CNN article about a Lamborghini Gallardo owner who had a similar problem. The state ended up deciding in his favor and declared his Lambo a lemon and they were forced to buy it back. lol.

Make sure the original shims are on the pads.
