Braking hard from high m-way speed last night, and this almighty resonance noise filled the car (really, really strange noise). I then sped up and braked again and sure enough it was still there :(
Any ideas? MY01 WRX with standard disks and pads (done 17k miles) Cheers, Tim. |
Tim,
I too have a MY01 and I get a humming noise coming from my nearside rear hub. This may be related to your problem? I got the local scooby dealer to look at it but they could not find anything wrong... Then, a few weeks later, they told me that they had received a technical bulletin from Subaru HQ saying that there was a simple modification to cure a 'recognised' brake humming problem. What they do is remove the rear brake pads and sand off (by grinder or whatever) a 45 degree angle of brake pad on the edges of the pad that connect with the disk. This (allegedly) solves the problem. I say allegedly because, although initially this removed the noise, it has now returned! Have a chat with your dealer! Mak. |
Thanks Mak - will mention it to my dealer next time I am there, or earlier if the problem gets worse. Couldn’t replicate it this morning, but will make more of an effort to tonight ;)
Tim. |
