Womp, Womp Brake Noise.

[Darksta]

Hi guys and girls.

Been trying to figure this one out and can't really seem to find out whats causing it.

Basically, the brakes seems to make a womp womp womp noise whilst making right hand turns every now and then coming from the left front brake. Took it apart, silicone paste the slide pins, copper greased tabs and CRC Disc quiet the pads and the noise is still there. Took the disc brake off cleaned, wire brushed and copper greased before fitting back the disc and still there. Checked bearing, all okay. Checked bushing, control arm CV joint and all OK. Checked brake hose, also ok. Rotated wheels and still there. No vibration through the steering wheel and no uneven wear on pads.

Took it to Toyota and they couldn't figure it out. Took it to my garage to check the disc for runouts and all normal readings and still no luck on what is causing it to go womp womp.

The reason why I say it's the brake is because the noise stops once you apply the brakes.

My brake setup are Nitrac drilled and grooved disc with Black Diamond pads changed last year and only recently start to make the womp womp noise. It'll only happen about 1 in 20 right hand turns ranging from barely hearing it to loud enough to be hard from outside.

Have you had your tyres checked ?

[Darksta]

Yup, checked the tires and no probs. Still plenty of tread on them and also wearing evenly.

Just had a wheel alignment done and I thought is was that but still no luck =(

Check the rubber stops and bushes on the suspension components.

[Darksta]

Yeah, just checked those and they still look good.

Thanks for the help anyways Raistlin.
