Front brakes making a creaking noise like standing on a floorboard when pressed particular when pedal nearly or fully depressed.... Even when car is not moving. I have taken the brakes apart replaced the pads and greased up all the relevant stuff even replaced the brake fluid but hasn't cured it.
Anyone have any ideas? Same problem? It's really starting to bug me now.
These are std 4 pot brembos

Its usually some dust in between the pistons and calipers , or pistons and pads , easy fix if its between the pistons and pads , but if in the calipers they would need stripping and cleaning out

Cheers Ian done the piston and pad clean so guess I will need to take apart the calipers now....

You might also try removing the discs, THOROUGHLY cleaning the mating surfaces before putting them back on the hubs.

Sometimes the front arb needs greasing too and that makes a creaking/ groaning noise at slow speed - just a thought.

Ok pads, discs, hubs etc all cleaned, lubed and checked out again..... Creaking still there!!! So Ian looks like you where right so now need to work out getting the calipers off stripped down and back on.....

You must have already had them off to remove the disc?
