squeak squeak what is it ?

Post by Tony Tone »

Ok, running along when everything is nice and hot and I get a squeaking from the front OS, if I apply just alittle pressure ( not enough to break the van ) the squeaking goes. Then comes back again, really annoying. Any suggestions ?.

Doesn't do it on short runs, just when all the moving bits are nicely warmed up.

Sounds like a sticky brake caliper to me, coincidently i have just put 2 new calipers on mine today as it had been doing it for quite a while, you may get lucky if you take the caliper off and free it off, it worked on mine for a while.........

Hi Mine used to do exactly the same when hot - d

I lubricated the caliper pistons - working them in and out (with the pads in situ) and replaced the front pads.

Hope this helps
