now for some time, ive had a really annoying squeeking / squealing noise coming from i think the front drivers side brake / wheel on my car which goes away if i brake slightly or , if i steer to the left or right (cant remember which) it also goes....
today however, i have gained a much more worrying / serious ? noise...
i think its coming from the front left brake disc / wheel and its basically a constant clicking / scraping noise that slows when i slow and speeds up when i speed up..... sounds bit like a choo choo train
(in that its not a continous noise but on off on off on off very quickly)if i brake from 60 to about 10 it turns into a groaning / loud scraping noise and if i brake completely to a stop and then pull away again, the noise gets really loud and sounds pretty worrying.
when i had a look at the disc in question (assuming thats what it is) it looks different to the other one;
it has / has kinda dark patches dotted around the surface which didnt use to be there... and arent on the other discs...
the centre of the disc which usually has a kinda rusty bit (rather like the edges look like) doesnt anymore almost like the pad is now closer to the centre of the disc than on the disc on the other side.....
both the front discs if you run your fingers over them do not feel smooth and u can feel undulations in them.......
is this a case of warped discs ???? or something else.....
i do use my brakes rather enthusiastically and have from time to time managed to use them to the point of quite serious fading and im guessing this is where the ptoblem may have arisen ????
any ideas folks ??
