Weird noise, brakes?

Postby Hammy » Mon Aug 05, 2019 1:40 pm

The Exocet has started making a weird noise coming from the drivers side rear wheel. I its like a rotational rub or creak once per rotation, seems to be there all the time but is more noticeable at slow speed under gentle braking. I've whipped the wheel off to take a look but just cant work it out and its not a trapped stone.

Wheel bearings are good, discs and pads were brand new on the build so Im hoping it hasnt warped.

Any ideas guys as its bloody annoying.

Cheers

It's not the tire rubbing on the bodywork somewhere?

When I have had this in the past it was a loose wheel (knock on Lotus Elan :o ) and then a warped disc. If it is the disc, you would feel vibration when breaking.
