Rear brake growl when backing up...

Post by LAIDBACKLUKE »

So my Bonne recently started a terrible growl/grown when I am backing up.. I've greased the slides on the caliper because they looked dry, but its still doing it.. any Ideas? Thanks.

I had that any time it was damp or rainy. It went away when I bought a new type of rotor. You may want to try a light coating of brake grease anywhere the pads make contact with the caliper.
