I have a problem that just recently occurred with my max. When pulling out of the driveway in reverse, there is loud squealing noise coming from the back wheels. Also, while I'm driving I hear the squealing for a short duration, then goes away. I'm not applying my brakes. I pinpointed the noise to my rear right wheel. From my forum search, the problems could be my e-brake cables, brakes pads, or brake caliper piston. Has anyone experienced the rear squealing? If so, what was the cause?

Note: I had my rotor resurfaced two months ago, but did not change the pads.

I am having the save problem but in the front wheel. It goes away when i apply the brakes. squeaking is there in either direction. i noticed that if i apply some WD40 to the area where the pads and the unit that holds the pad, it goes away but will come back. i try applying the breakpad quiter spray but still no good, thinking maybe it is the plates that sit between the pad and the holding unit. that is my guess, if i have a solution, will post it. please do the same.

Yea, thx for the reply. I saw ur earlier thread you created and the response from MaxBoost925. I was considerding changing my rotors and brake pads as well, but I want to pin point what the problem is . I mite just settle and take the Max to Nissan and have them charge me just to look at it...arrrgghhhh.

 

It's probably a frozen caliper. They go quite frequently on the 5th gen.

 

Thanks for the input, Progress, i'm doing some research on caliper.

 

Let us know what you find.
