Hi i was driving along in my lexus gs300 1995 and all was well i stopped at traffic lights and when i set of a high piched wurring sound could be heard i stopped again and set of and no sound could be heard when i parked up the noise had returned even when in nutral or park the harder i accelerat highter the wurring noise this seems to be intermitent can anyone advise me as to what the cause is and what the solution may be cheer kevin

On the is200 there is a little spring/wire that clips into the pads, that keeps the pads away from the disc's ,ie stops the the pads rubbing against the disc's, it may be missing, as i have one missing and it's making this noise.

thanks for letting me know i think its deffo a break prob i will try get it looked at over the weekend

is it grating all the time or just when u brake?

its a grating noise everytime the wheel turns round noticable mostly at low speed and seems to be getting louder

Hi i have just joined this site as i am now the proud owner of a 1995 lexus gs300

the problem i have is a grating noise coming from the front drivers side brake/wheel i have been told that it could be solved by having the break pads cleaned could anyone tell me if this is correct if not what could be the cause and the solution many thanks
