2007 IS250 Brakes squeeking on braking and also when reversing

[louisp]

Hi Guys,

I recently bought a 2007 IS250. 73k miles. All good but after hitting the brakes 5 or 10 times the front drivers side starts for squeek (high pitched). Then when I reverse it makes an odd lower pitched longer squeek. 

I took it to the garage and they did the following to check if all OK; 

- Removed, cleaned and refaced the front brake pads

- Checked the brake caliper

- Cleaned out carrier and lubricated the sliders

- Checked rear pads and discs for wear and tear

Everything was OK, but they still squeek! 

Anyone know what the issue maybe? It's a great car, but the squeeking is ruining the driving experience, especially with the windows open in summer 🙂

Many thanks

The squeking is only when braking, or constantly?

Check the anti squeal pads are in place, the metal piece between the pad and the caliper and that it has copper grease on it.

It's only when breaking except when reversing, when reversing it's squeeks without the brake.

Thanks, will check that out

Try to clean your brakes and lube the caliper pins.

Does that wheel get especially hot after being driven, compare to passenger side, if so it suggests binding.

I presume discs aren't excessively lipped, has the condition of the flexible brake hose been assessed?
