2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

    Rare caliper problem

    I've changed a caliper (driver's side one) and when the car is running, it's make a friction/chirp noise, but when the brake pedal is pressed, the sound stops... I checked the disc and the pads is just making contact on the 60% of the disc, looks like it isn't touching the inside of the disc. What it could be?

    Sticking caliper, warped rotor, air in the lines.....or all of those....also go back over your work for loose nuts and bolts and did you make sure to anti seize all parts that slide?

        Sounds like a warped rotor to me.

          Definitely sounds like a warped rotor. Take the wheel off, get the rotor off and spin it on something. You'll see if there is warping.

            I've noticed that the new caliper isn't the same as the old. The old one is a nissin. I can't install some metal parts that the new caliper includes because it doesn't fit in the old housing. Maybe it's the reason, or maybe autozone sold me the wrong caliper and I installed it anyway. I think, if the rotor is warped, the car could shake or something, but it feels normal.

              it is possible that you got the wrong caliper. our accords came with 2 types of calipers.

                    vh22accord, You was the nearest...

                    I asked to a guy of the autopart store about the problem with the caliper, and he told me, maybe it's sticky. I decided to unmount it and go to Autozone to change it. And guess what? That's was a wrong one. They sold me the wrong caliper and I don't know how I installed that. It was a Nissin, but from another car or model. I changed it and installed the right one and it works like a charm...

                      Oh, and the friction noise was the metal behind the disc making contact with it.

                      Thanks guys.
