I just had a front-end brake job: turned the rotors, pads... There is a
fluttering sound on the left brake when I'm driving along.
What causes this and how can I fix it?
voice from the past
It is difficult to diagnose sounds without hearing the sounds, but here are
some common causes of brake sounds that occur when the brakes are not
applied:
Improper rotor installation - fix by removing the rotor and installing
correctly
Improper pad installation - fix by removing the pads and installing them
correctly
Aftermarket parts, particularly pads, that do not fit correctly - fix by
installing OEM pads.
Stuck caliper slide - fix by cleaning up the slide, the slide bushing, and
lubing with anti-seize, wheel bearing grease, or caliper slide grease.
Improper wheel installation or torque - fix by removing and reinstalling the
wheel and torquing the lug nuts properly
Bad wheel cover - fix by installing a new wheel cover.
