metal to metal noise from front end	Sign In

I have a 2014 Cadillac SRX and there is a metal to metal noise coming out of the front end. I have replaced the rotors, brake pads and the wheel bearings were replaced about 6 months ago but, the noise is still there. I have taken the brakes apart several times to use a brake squeal lube on the pads, verified that the calipers aren't damaged and that the anti-rattle clips aren't touching the rotors but, I am still hearing the noise. I have noticed that when I turn the wheel to the left the noise stops then, when the wheel is straight or turning to the right the noise continues.

I have also replaced the brakes on the rear of the car but, based on where I hear the noise and the fact that turning the wheel does or doesn't stop the noise I believe it to be in the fronts brakes.

I am out of ideas as to where the noise may be coming from.

Have you checked to make sure the backing plates aren't rubbing on the rotors?

Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

i would also check all of the hardware on the caliper brackets. sometimes they can shift or the aftermarket hardware kit might fit differently.
