hello i am still new here and i was wondering if anyone can help me at all ,
i recently changed the front pads on my terrano2 27td and now i am getting a squealing noise now and again after i go over a bump or slow down turn a right corner it is coming from the drivers wheel like a brake squeal but sometimes getting louder but not when i brake when i have my foot of the brake ,
i purchased the pads and after fitting them discovered two small bolts which i think came with the pads but there doesnt seem to ba any bolts i did not fit ,
very puzzled nut would be great full if anyone can point me in the right direction many thanks paul:bow

you dont normally get bolts or anything with new pads,
did you service the calipers and sliders when you changed the pads ?

i assume the pads matched the ones you took out ?

did you check condition of hoses and pipes ?

how is your fluid ? up to level ?

hello i havent serviced the calipers the hoses look fine and fluid all topped up brakes work perfect but everytime when the car is warm mostly i hit a bump or turn right just after i hear a brake squeal but not when braking :nenau

Yep sounds like the calliper is sticking, the rods need a clean and a light grease maybe, regards bri
