Car Forum / Acura Cars / July 2008Dragging a slap of concrete noise: '91 Integra
My daughter drives this car and has asked me to check out the noise. I did. Last night. I didn't get 20' (driveway) when I stopped and looked under the car for something dragging. Nothing. When you move you hear it. Not related to braking (what does a sticking caliper sound like?). I told her to take it to Honda ASAP. Maybe tomorrow. I dread her driving it like that. Any clues? finding z0 <jsk2@excite.com> wrote in news:cbf5f0a2-ffc3-480d-a185- dafa63f0a2dc@l64g2000hse.googlegroups.com: > My daughter drives this car and has asked me to check out the noise.

Any clues? 1) Brakes down to the steel. 2) Who knows? Time for hands-on diagnosis.

Hi, I'd suggest it's the brake rotor splash guard scraping against the brake rotor.

Sounds like a 737 at 1000ft when you start out, then diminishes rapidly though I can still hear some light rubbing sound thereafter. Will find out soon. > finding z0 <j...@excite.com> wrote in news:cbf5f0a2-ffc3-480d-a185- > dafa63f0a...@l64g2000hse.googlegroups.com: [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQwww.tegger.com/hondafaq/ Turns out it was stuck caliper(s). finding z0 <jsk2@excite.com> wrote in news:89432212-868b-493e-b9cb- 68b89b122372@34g2000hsh.googlegroups.com: >> finding z0 <j...@excite.com> wrote in news:cbf5f0a2-ffc3-480d-a185- >> dafa63f0a...@l64g2000hse.googlegroups.com: [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Turns out it was stuck caliper(s). Thanks for the update, but I have a question: "stuck" specifically...how? There are many parts that can get "stuck".

It was metal on metal. |
