99 Accord noise in Right Rear brakes
My 99 Accord was hit in the rear today at 2MPH, barely made contact. The guy was real nice
and followed me to the body shop to pay to have bumper painted as he didn't want to file on his insurance. They are going to paint it next week. This afternoon I heard.a creaking noise in the right rear brakes. I noticed it mostly when I back out of driveway. I can put the car in park and rock the car forward and back and pinpoint the noise to the right rear wheel. Any ideas of what to look for in the brakes? It made the noise with or without the brake applied. TIA |

TIA Honda disk brake pads incorporate a clever device that warns the driver when brake pads have worn down and need changing. It's simply a U-shaped piece of metal that, when the pads are new, doesn't come near the rotating disk. As the pad material wears away however, the end of this metal strip comes closer and closer to the rotor until when there is only a marginal amount of pad left, it touches the rotor during braking. This generates discreet squeaks and scratchings at first, most noticeable when backing up or maneuvering slowly in a parking lot. As the contact becomes more intimate the wear strip can generate the most ominous gronking noises that will be noticed by even the most inattentive driver. The cure is simple, replace the pads with new ones. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/Brakes.html#noise |

I agree. Don't even mention to the guy who tapped you, it has nothing to do
with him. I've backed into guardrails harder than that... yes, the scrape marks are still there. -keith "John Ings" > wrote in message ... > On Fri, 11 Mar 2005 01:43:51 GMT, > wrote: > > >This afternoon I heard.a creaking noise in the > >right rear brakes.
