CD5 - Scraping noise

[mr_mojo02]

Hey guys.

Got a problem with my accord at the moment.. Sounds like the pads are stuffed. When im driving i hear a sraping kinda noise coming from the front left wheel and it gets louder as i apply the brakes.

I have changed the pads and the noise is still there.. i noticed that my CV boots were stuffed too.. could it be the CV's?

Cheers

I have never had to replace CV's in any of my cars, but from my experiences CV's mainly get noisy when you turn the steering wheel, kinda like a clicking noise.


When you say they are stuffed, how do you know? The boot is disengrated?

I dare say thats what the problem may be tough, but its kinda hard to determine what it would be with so many variables and a small amount of information.

Your best bet would be to see your local trustworthy mechanic.....

yuh i know.. but i always get more satisfaction outta fixing things myself

and yes.. the boots are covered in greese

check your wheel bearing.

could be a stone cought in the pad area
the disc could be touching the rotor shroude ( bend it back ). this can happen if you let the wheel hit the rotor as you remove the wheel with the wheel, bends the shroude on the rotor.

I once had a found a scraping noise on my dads ascent once... farking shit myself thought i broke it had a look at it pulled out this stick looking thing turned out to be a dead toad scraping on the disk brakes

if its ur cv's, ur kno... there will be grease all in the wheel well, and also wen u turn the car, u hear & feel it click. if its just happened, get em fixed asap, before u get sand in the bearings, which changes a $100 job into a couple $100 job, lol.

I would suggest that the brake disk may be warped and it's rubbing on the pad. I had this issue on my car recently. When you drive slowly, you'll get a sort of "noise on -- noise stop -- noise on -- noise stop" effect as the wheel goes round.
If it is that, get the disks machined -- otherwise you'll prematurely wear out the pads. Pretty soon you'll start to feel the car shudder when you break as it warps more...
