Front end creak/squeal/grind help!

ThatGuyMikee · 01-21-2014, 02:20 PM

Got a front end creak/grind i cant seem to find , car is lowered on megan coilovers, sound only happens on light braking, hard braking it doesnt happen, fromt brakes are brand new, when light braking the sound happens every 1 rotation, creak.....creak.....creak till i fully stop with brakes applyed or i fully realease the brakes,

Im thinking maybe sway bar making noise? Control arm making noise? Cant figure it out, had the car up and aprt at least 6 times lol everything tight, no rubbing signs anywhere , everything brand new also besides sway bar, any help/ ideas would be great

If the pads are new maybe you just need to break them in a bit. I remember a few years back on my C300 I got new rotors and it took about 50-100 miles to break em in and the squeaks went away.
