Richardwhite Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 I recently changed my front driver side brake rotor,caliper,rubber brake line,inner tie rod end and now when I stop it has a loud roar sounds like a air horn. It doesnt do it all the time but cant seem to find the problem out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roots57 Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Do you feel any vibration in the brake pedal when it happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinzII Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Check your pads and the caliper. What kind of pads? If it's a wheel bearing, you are going to hear the noise at speed and the sound will diminish under braking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 As you didn't chage them, did you check the pads? Kind of sounds like a bad pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richardwhite Posted May 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I had changed pads rotor and caliper on the side that was giving me a roar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardwhite Posted May 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 My best guess was that the rotor was egg shaped to the point that when the more pointy edge came around that it was getting stuck on the new caliper. To fix the issue I was having I decided to pull all parts off from the store I had used and returned them. Than I went to its competition and got that stores top of the line rotor and brake pads and just reused caliper that was in vehicle to begin with for the fact that the caliper had been misdiagnosed by the technician that had done the warranty check. So now roar is gone and I figured the issue out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 ?good to hear. How did you determine the rotor was "egg shaped"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
