Hmm.. do you use cheap gas every time? Maybe its pinging a little?

Or I read that rocks and shit can get stuck in the cover on the cats. Rattles at higher rpms.

like the sound an old man makes when he stands up

sometimes happens when i turn and sometimes when i'm just driving

just went to old gai mechanic. the noise stopped in the past week pero wanted to check anyway.

he lifted CV and pointed out what was making the noise. he has a troka at home that does the same thing

its just a little thingy rubbing against another thingy

gai said just drive it

also had them look at brakes because they be squeeling like hell

those were fine too. plenty of paddage left on em

gai said give 10K more miles then come back

no had to spend manies today

dnw noisy brakes. Had a set of ceramic pads do that shit on my camaro. Took them bitches back and traded them out. SOmething was wrong with the pad.

Glad your rig isn't going to lose a wheel or anything now lol

[BillyJeanKing]

dude always gives honest advice and cheap solutions

told me to spray armor-all on belt to stop squeel noise...noise stopped

told me to put fuel injection to cleaner in tank for faster crankz...car starts up instantly

most fools be liek, "popping noise? you need brand new engine"

i put ceramic brakes on tembo a few years ago

same thing happened

bitches squeeled like a gawd deem stuck pig

old gai mechanic basically said it was like glass rubbing on glass

nothing wrong with them it just not the best material to make brakes out of because of the noise they make

he told me to take the car out on a mostly empty road and get it up around 30 to 40 mph and slam on the brakes to rough them up some

i was too scared to really do it so I just did pussy slam

noise did get quieter

[stonehenge]

I put ceramics on the CV last time and those bitches be quiet.

Yes my ceramics on all my cars are quiet. Buddy makes brakes at federal mogul, he is the guy that does the mix for the pad to be made from. He said sometimes the batch doesnt get mixed well and there will be a clump in the pad that may not be visible until a few miles or a few thousand miles in. Mine had an obvious chunk of shit in the pad so I took them back and traded. Been good ever since

I had been putting cheap pads/rotors on my truck and nizz every time they needed them and they'd wear out quick, squeak like fuck, and on the truck they would warp after a while (it's hot as fuck here). So when the CV needed brakes I said fts and got some good ones. Went through Napa and got all new rotors and ceramic pads. Bish is quiet and stops better than it did before.

Not going to buy cheap pads again fts.

[shootermcgavin003]

i run the mid grade from napa. there the only ones that last on dmax. never buy brakes at advance ever.

[theholycow]

You might could put anti-squeal goop on the backing plate. Cheap, easy band-aid for pads you like that squeak.

I buy cheapest Advance Auto Parts pads for beaters, and best or one level below best Auto Zone (because crazy good warranty) for keepers.

[pwtr02ss]

Camaro has duralast gold, err thang else has advance auto platinum grade ceramic cause the buy online pick up in store with promo code is unbeatable…never used warranty on brakes before? Camaro has d/s rotors and what not too, all other cars just stock shiznit

[theholycow]

I agree aboot Advance's online in store pickup with codes thing, that shit's tough to beat.

When Auto Zone says "lifetime warranty" they mean it. When you wear out brake pads or a clutch or whatever, you just bring it in and they give you new ones. Therefore, any parts I expect to replace again before the end of the car's life I prefer to buy there.

Examples:

I bought a set that had a lifetime warranty. When they were used up your just had to take the worn out pads and your receipt back in and they gave you a new set. They were $70 a pair. For the amount of time I planned on keeping the truck it was worth it. As Murphey's Law works out it was totaled about six months later. I bought them on the recommendation of my father-in-law. He has had them on his truck and swapped them out three times. These were from Napa, I can't remember the brand name.

I posted this some months back but....Autozone gave me free replacements on my Prelude for the last 14(?) years. I changed my own and turned in the old ones for a refund.

Even if Auto Zone went out of business today, I wouldn't have lost anything by buying my parts there considering how many times they have replaced brakes, tie rods, ball joints, axles, fuel pumps, ignition modules, etc, etc..... that I have worn out.

I've also got a lifetime warranty Auto Zone fuel pump in the '88 Escort. I think it's been changed 2 times since the original one came out of it. I'm guessing the one that's in it now has probably been in it somewhere between 200-250K miles, but I'm thinking about going ahead and dropping the tank when spring gets here and replacing it so it's not as likely to leave me stranded.

[pwtr02ss]

damn. Never knew that. Just buy new shit when it wears out. Now if it breaks in a sort time I take stuff back and bitch about it the whole time lol
