Hello! First time posting here, hoping I can get some help.
My front right brake has been making some awful noises while driving, and breaking for that matter, after a fellow landcruiser-enthusiast friend and I replaced both front rotors, brakes, and wheel bearings. He’s replaced his 80s front axel, brakes, rotors, etc several times so this wasn’t flailing around in the dark.
At first there was no issue, but after driving around 2800 miles, lots of it highway, I’m now experiencing this terrible noise, like metallic grinding, while driving and then a grinding noise when breaking (which I assume is normal).
I’ve done my research and decided to take the wheel and calipers off, clean the rotors, sand the brake pads a little, and even sprayed brake quiet on the rear of the pads. I then got it all back together and manually rotated the wheel and didn’t hear any noises. I also checked the dust guard and couldn’t see any obvious areas where it contacted the rotor.
Upon just driving the vehicle, the noise is back and doesn’t seem any better, if not more intense.
I posted a link via google photos to the video and the noise when driving
Let me know what you think! I’m hoping to be back on the road in the next week or so and would love to not turn heads...
Let me know if you can not access the link, I will try some other way, or if anyone has a better way.
