Creaking Brakes

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

This is my first post as a week old Fiesta owner, so apologies that it's one asking for help.

 

I've owned the car for a week, I have dealership warranty so hopefully I can get this sorted, I just want to know what the issue actually is.

I have a 63 plate Fiesta Zetec S, it's done 30k miles, love everything about it, except for one thing, when I brake a very loud creaking comes from what I think is the front brakes. I've searched online and can't seem to find what the issue might be. The brakes work absolutely fine, look fine, and there's plenty of pads left.

At high speed, braking makes a rapid whistling noise, as speed decreases it turns into a slow creaking (like pulling up your hand brake creaking, like an old creaky door (yes really!)).

I've just recorded a video which I'll upload to YouTube if anyone wants to actually hear the noise.

 

Anyone got any ideas? Like I said, the brakes work absolutely fine, the discs look brand new and the pads are plenty.

Thanks in advance!
