Hi folks

When I drive slowly with windows down I can hear a metallic noise like the brakes are ever so lightly engaged - is this normal? I’ve not heard it before on previous cars. It goes away when I apply the brakes so it’s like the pads haven’t retracted enough from the discs.

Any ideas how to resolve? Fronts (JURID, new on car from Volvo when I bought it) are 10 months and about 8k miles old (discs and pads) and rear are 3 months old. Fronts also squeak just before coming to a standstill which is driving me mad!

Had the noise since before the rears were replaced so am convinced it’s only the fronts at fault. Thinking the front pads need to come out, clean, lube the pins etc and where the pads slide in the calipers, and anti squeal on pad rear.

I’ve also bought new springs for the calipers as old ones are rusty.

Am I on the right lines? Any guidance?! What lube/grease and where? Copper grease on pad rears?

Thanks in advance

Dave
