check your brake pad 1st. For waja, when the brake pad is thin, the disc rotor tends to vibrate.

thanks zenwarlord. but will it caused the squeaking sound / rattling while braking / foot off the brake pedal? hmm.gif
i noticed my front rim is getting dirty caused by the brake activities too. sweat.gif

squeking sound could be many factor, it can be the brake pad, missing of caliper pins as well as the scratches on disc rotor. Usually changing new pad need to do proper baking to avoid the squeking noise. While for the rattling noise can be due to warpped disc rotor or thin (almost finish) brake pad. I dun know how much they charge for the skimming, but the new disc rotor is RM160/pair (outside sparepart shop). You can confirm with PESC & EON for original price.

dont go for KYB or APM.. get ASUKI instead.. i tried them and it is better.. only 270 for all 4 not include installation for sure..

KYB? is this another 'celup' version laugh.gif of the famed KAYABA? just like how those BACH get their name from EIBACH? hmm.gif
guys, i might need to 'tumpang' 2 big size 'ah soh' back home this chinese new year.... is the proton's stock suspension good enough? sweat.gif

ahhuat@ browse online at mudah.com.my. i came across a seller of those metal type carrier the other day.
the price is higher but of course it should last longer than the plastic one..

just get my car back from workshop. the squeaking(not high pitch) sound is still there. the strange thing is; it only happened when the car is move from the standstill. ie; starting the car in the morning, changing to D and foot off the brake pedal.
any idea what could be the caused? should i go for skimming? already checked the pads. everything is ok. sweat.gif

thanks in advance icon_rolleyes.gif
