Wheel Bearing Noise?

[Chirpstr]

so what would you say the soultion would be?..could it be a warped rotor? because with my noise its a squeak-squeak in intervals, the faster i go the quicker the interval of squeaks are. does it look like new rotors for me?

Ridah, it sounds like it could be warped...it is very easy to do...going through a puddle when they are hot or doing excessive burnouts will do it. Or maybe its the pad, but I doubt it...

Yep looks like new rotors for you but you can just get them machined if there is enough thickness in them.

yeah, i asked the guy down at the tyre shop if i could get em machined, he said he could do it but i may aswell get new ones because he said theres barely any meat left on the rotors. any-1 know what the minium thickness of the rear rotors on a VS should be?

Rear disc min thickness is 8.5mm. I just bought new front discs for under $70 ea and the rears are cheaper - this can be a lot less hassle than getting them skimmed and is done at your convenience.

Yeah I got my new ones late last year. There was a tiny bit of meat left on them but I thought I may as well get newys...
But if they are warped there isn't much hope for success getting them skimmed. You should get some new ones anyway if they are down...

They also tend to warp easily if they are too thin.

my rear brakes have teis same squeak too, ive had the disks machined and will pull apart my calipers on the weekend and see if anyhting is stikcing. has anyone fixed this yet

 

[FuzzayD]

had the same problem, fixed it by locking rear wheels and doing a big ass skid.

id check that where the calliper is mounted is not loose or warn creating movement. id also check how warped and warn the rotor is because they get a lip on the outer of the rotor which the pad may rub or grab when the wheel is turned

yeh well had the disks machined so they are all good but i will have to check out the calipers tomorrow
