Hi guys, first post on any site so i'll try to be thorough with my query. Don't see anything posted that helps me... yet!
Just put new tires on my 2008. I removed the wheels and re-installed them, the local Honda shop mounted and balanced. First work of any kind as I haven't had it long.
New tires installed and had gave it a spin, worked perfect! Took it to work and after about 30 miles started hearing a squeal from the front left caliper. A light (not hard rubbing and not constant but persistent) squeal. Stopped at the Honda shop up the street, too busy to look at it. Rode home 26 miles and by the time I got off of the freeway both calipers were squealing.
Fun ride waiting for the front tire to lock.
Removed the bolts from both sides and inspected. Looked like some shiny metal in the left caliper at the crown of the rotor as if the caliper was too close to the axle. I'm talking the caliper section between the pads. No marking at all on the rotor. The other side has a micro nick like the other side. I know the rotor can't get closer to the axle so I'm confused.
Anybody run into this? Is there a shim somewhere that I didn't notice and let fall out?
