Hi everyone. My 11 evo x has only 5041 miles and the brakes sound terrible. They are no where near worn down. Anyone else having similar noise?

 

Ive never heard of an Evo having that problem. :P

 

My friend has an 08 sti, he got new brakes and they squeak as well. Stock brembo brakes. He thought something was wrong but it was fine. Performance brakes are known to squeak sometimes.

 

Most of the time mine are quiet.... but sometimes they squeal like mad!

 

Do you know how to search the forums? There are many threads dealing with this issue. Wash the car and try to squirt a lot of water between the rotor and the brakes. Performance pads are always going to be noisy and a lot of brake dust on the brakes makes it worse. You can either deal with a little squeal or change the pads. I suggest Racing Brake ET500s they work great, don't dust much, and are quiet, while still have stock like if not better than stock braking power. For the front and rear together it costs around $190~200ish.

 

Yeah this is normal. After a wash it will go away for a little bit and then come back. Get different brakes or get used to it I guess.

 

Use anti squeel when you do the brake pads next and it helps a lot. That and what the other guys said.

 

thanks for the help

 

mine do it when i reverse and then stop.

 

Next time you wash your car spray with the water hose into your brake calipers, because you gets lots of dust build up that can't get rid of with just driving around, and when you spary with the water hose you will notice a lot of black brake dust come out, and should pretty much be quite till you get a lot of brake dust build up again.

Mine do the same thing lol. I'm getting ceramic brakes in the future though when these stock pads wear out.

 

Holy jesus speak of the devil on the way to work right now I stop and I get the loudest brake squeal...whatever, still doesn't **** me off as much as my glove box rattling and I only have 2k miles....lol oh this evo has such an interesting personality.

Dude something has just started to rattle inside my car and I can't figure out the source! Perhaps it's my glove box also. Gonna have to do some investigating

 

Before I get to the squealing and the rattle sound help... first zip tie your fuel pressure hose. I cant find the damn links for it but if you lift up your engine cover, it is a 4-5 inch long hose that is vertical.

Anyhow...

Brakes will squeeze for multiple reasons.
1: pads are worn
2: need more break fluid
3: rusty rotors/pads

giving your situation I still would consider checking out the pads. Its an 11 but it prolly was sitting around for a year and it might have caused rust to build up.

For the rattling... Glove box is THE first thing to rattle in evo x, then the center console (where the AC controls are at and if applicable the 2 small compartments will rattle), if you dont have those compartments the plastic cover in the back between the rear seats and the rear window will rattle. Get yourself dynamat for the far back and a **** ton of presto-felt for the rest.

 

The glove compartment started to rattle on my EVO X about 2k miles as well. It's the easiest rattle in the car to deal with. Once it starts, just open the compartment and slam it shut and the rattle will go away. It most likely will come back at some point, just repeat the process. Do a search, there was someone on here who went through all the trouble to figure out how to fix it.permanently.
My brakes squel with only 6800 miles. Mostly when it's wet out or the temp is less than 35 degrees.

I've gotten use to the rattles. Gives the car character. The fit and finish of the interior is not stellar, but the what's under the hood and the driving mechanic are top notch
