I have a 2002 is200 with a problem that is wrecking my head.

The problem seems to occur whilst driving betwwen 30-40mph,its a high squeal coming from my o/s/f wheel.

I have replaced the brake pads,replaced the cradle carrier pins(greased these)all shims are greased and fitted correctly,stripped down calliper also.A few days ago i removed disc and pads from n/s/f and moved to o/s/f and still the problem is there.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think you will find that the noise is actually coming from the rear wheels. There is a dust/dirt shield on the rear discs - there is a groove in the disc that this shield locates into. After a while it rusts and the metal causes the squeeling noise.

I had this on mine a few years ago and I did post the remedy for it - will have a look to see if I can find it.

It just needs a clean - nothing to replace.

The offending lip is shown in the picture below - just use a dremil drill to clean the lip up and also the insert in the disc that this locates into.

You will see what I mean when you take it off as there will be a lot of rust and dirt also collects there. I actually ground a bit off the dust shield and the noise did not return.

It may be something else but this was what resolved it for myself and a few others with the same issue.

Thanks for the quick response,I have also done the above, I read about this somewhere, most probably on this site.Just wondering if it might be a wheel bearing, it only makes the noise when ive driven the car 4/5 miles.
