Heres the situation... when applying the brakes, the drivers side rear caliper creaks like a dry sway bar bushing. Its a progressive creak, meaning the harder I push, the more it creaks, and the faster/slower I push the faster/slower it creaks...
I took the wheel off, same creak, I loosened the caliper mounting brackets, same creak. I silicone sprayed everything, same creak.
It appears to me like it is coming from inside the caliper housing where the piston is.

Any advice would be great, I dont want to spend 150$ for one new caliper

thanks

Make sure that your slider pins are not frozen and give them a fresh coat of lube.

lubed everything, no change...

actually took the caliper off the slide hanger, and put the rotor in and hit the brakes.. still the same creak. No parts involved other than caliper, pads, and rotor...

my best guess is something is screwy inside the piston housing, or the caliper itself is flexing and groaning under the piston pressure...

any ideas?

Talk about bringing back a old thread ...I have the exact same problem. How did you fix yours? I'm thinking its the pistons against the pads making noise.

had this issue with 05+ acura RL's with brembo calipers,caliper pistons were causing the groaning noise.

I am having the same problem with the rear drivers side right after I got done auto crossing my car. Would like to hear a solution
