i have maxima 95

i hear a braking sound from strut (i think) i don't not hit brake though, continuous sound at low speeds (0-40 KPh), the sound is coming from right if i am not mistaken

the right wheel was not well balanced and then lately i noticed this sound, i got the wheel balanced but no use i can still hear this braking sound

any ideas?

thank u guys

By braking sound what do you mean? Squeeling or rubbing? If squeeling it might be the wheel bearing, if rubbing it just might be the dust shield or pads rubbing against the rotors.

it's neither, i don't know how to explain it, it's similar to sound u hear when car at full stop and on Drive gear then release brake, at this moment u hear a sound from brakes, when pads disatatch rotots, the sound i have similar to this sound but in a continuous fashion at 0-40kph

i think it's one of the struts created a little gap, i don't know

any ideas?

thank u

on my right side, i have a little squeak that i CANNOT get rid of, sounds like something to do with my suspension. even the littlest bumps cause it to squeak. kinda embarrassing when youre tryin to cruise with the woman, and that damn squeak keeps showing up

the squeek that you are talking about ECKOHB, i have the exact same thing. It does get annoying. Sounds like birds stuck under the car. I have noticed though that when the weather is wet it does not happen. I am considering spraying some silicone on all the bushings and see where that gets me.

MAXIMA_1995 you have to get some description of the exact noise that you are hearing otherwise you aren't going to get the right answer you are looking for.
