front disc dreaks make a rubing sound

[theyman]

the break on the right is making a rubing sounds but the left is ok when you apply them they dont sounds the same any sugestions

Have the same issue with my front left side. It is pissing me off. I just had new rotors and brakes put on and the fact they are rubbing knowing this fact pisses me off to no end.

I tried cleaning them, putting W grease on the outer portions, but every time I apply some pressure, the sqeeking makes me mad.

If you find out then let me know. Glad soemone else asked this question, before I did.

I just started having that prob on my '86, but it started after I installed new pads. The rotors still looked great, so I didn't get 'em turned. Only thing I can think is that the caliper isn't moving the pads far enough when the brake isn't engaged, then again, its just a guess. My solution, turn the radio so loud that I worry about the topper flying off instead of the brakes squeaking.

take off pads & slide caliper back & forth to insure it moves free.look at piston to see if it has any rust or pitts around seal.also after reinstalling,compress piston in and step on brake pedal a couple of times to free it up even more.

I had the same problem with my '87 Ranger. I changed and greased new calipers and never had the problem again.
