Trying to diagnose noise from brakes (I think)
I have a strange metallic scoring sound like a stone stuck in 2nd Gen TA’s brakes (disc all round) only there isn't and I've taken apart cleaned and greased them and all look ok except for very, very slight warp on front left that rubs lightly for about 50% of the disc. I greased the prop shaft UV joints and checked all over for loose bits but no idea what it is but it goes away when I apply brake and gets a bit worse if driven a few miles (maybe heat on that disc?) It’s definitely to do with speed of wheels and not engine/gears though. Discs calipers and pads only have about 5k delicate driving on them from new, and bearings were done at same time. The hub nuts all appear tight with split pins in place too. Anything else I should check? ![huh ??)](./images/smilies/old_huh.gif)
