I've got a strange rubbing noise coming from what seems like my front o/s wheel and can't figure it out. It's can get quite loud at times and it's not a constant noise so don't think it's a wheel bearing, but it's a rhythmic one so I'm more inclined to think pad related.
One of the caliper slide pins in the front o/s was sticking due to light corrosion in the hole, so I've buffed it up, cleaned and lubed so it all moves freely now. I did the same for all the other corners. Brembo discs and pads all round, tons of pad left and barely any lip on the discs. There's nothing catching the discs etc.
Front calipers never get hot, just a little warm. Rear calipers get warmer but I think that's down to the torque vectoring system.
After jacking up and inspecting everything looks fine. When spinning the wheel you can slightly hear it but can't spin it fast enough to really get it going. But all the other corners make a similar noise, but again difficult to tell as I can't rotate them fast enough.
Could it just be the pad material making this noise or could the sticking slide pin have caused damage to the front o/s disc or pad? The discs doesn't seem warped, but I never checked the pad to see it was still perfectly flat or if the sticking slide pin could have caused uneven wear on it somehow?
Cheers
