Title: What would the symptoms be....
Post by: DazVR6 on 27 August 2008, 21:55

of a warped disc on the rear drivers side be..?

Reason i ask is i have this noise that only happens when i brake and is definatly coming from the caliper area, it slows as the car does, sounds like something on the wheel that is hitting the ground each time it goes round but its deffo from the caliper area as ive run beside the car as the missus was driving slowly and listened as she braked.

Any sure way of finding out..?

Had a bit of gravel lodged in my brake pad, it gave those symptoms.

Can better decribe it as a creaking from the caliper area that stop starts and slows as the car does.
