Brakes Squealing and a rubbing noise question

james33 · 04-13-2010, 02:01 PM

I've had 3 problems with my '08 135i and had it in to the dealer twice for it. I had a clunk from the front end that was the thrust bushings (replaced and fixed the problem). The other 2 issues have not been resolved and I was wondering if anyone else had the same issue.

1. Brakes squeal when coming to a stop. If you are super gentle it will be quiet. If you brake a little aggressively a nice big squeal. The front brakes have all been replaced under warranty - rotors and pads, and bedded in. Still squeals.

2. A come and go problem, but on the right side I hear a "rasp" upon every revolution of the wheels. Sounds like something rubbing upon every rotation. I go faster, the sound gets fast and vice versa. However, if I do a very hard stop, the noise goes away. Then in a while it comes back.

Thanks for any ideas!
James

Bump - No ideas anyone? No one else has any squealing when braking?

Probably dust accumulated near the calipers. Just have them cleaned by your dealer.

I just had all new rotors and pads on the front. I guess it could be the back...
