My front brakes - sounds like from the driver side - has developed a funky noise. I recently had my caliper off to change my axle u-joints, and shortly after that is when it began (could be related, but I think it's coincidental).
Pads and rotors are good, caliper is tightened.
So here's what it does - light brake application does nothing, but if I start to brake harder, especially when at lower speeds, the front brakes make a 'sticking' or binding noise that you can feel through the pedal a bit. It's very hard to explain, so let me try. You know how in most auto trans cars, if you very slowly release the brake from a stop, you get that noise when the brakes start to release just enough to start to allow the car to move but still have some pressure on the rotor. Like a grinding, only there's no grinding....more like a binding noise.
Well, that same thing happens but when I stop instead of when I go....almost like a sticky caliper piston, but I'd think that would happen when I released the brake or started off, not when I was stopping.
Any ideas?
