[TR] TR4. Brake squeak/howl

[j t]

Hello listers,

If this were my car I would take a grinder/file all the way around each pad and get some angle to the edge. Noise still present? I would do to the top edge of the rotor and cut it back a bit, both sides, ALL the way around. I would drive the car if the noise is still present remove the rotor and consider spraying a really thin coat of paint on it towards it’s center. Carefully drive the car. The brake pad should remove the paint in a clear manner. Any strange marks? If so polish/sand as needed.

I think it is likely the issue will be found ON the rotor.

Please be careful !!!


Cheers
John
