I put on Duralast Gold Break Pads a few days ago and the front left wheel creaks when i Press the break down all the way. It slightly creaks if I turn the steering wheel (both directions) . Doesn't creak constantly but if i turn the steering wheel or am turning it at a stand still it will creak a bit. Not the entire time i turn it tho. Just almost like something is loose, ungreesed or i dont know. Also if i press the break to the floor and release it slowly it creaks. But it only creaks when its pressed a bit not right when i step on the break. Needs to be pressed down a bit to actually creak. All other wheels do not creak. I also dont seem to hear it creak when im driving but then again my engine sorta covers the sound. But i can hear it a bit when i turn left or right. It kinda feels that when i break suddenly it pulls to the right a bit. I was possibly thinking lack of lubrication? The break seems to be alittle spongy sometimes (NOT ALWAYS). Also seems that when i press the break down all the way it seems like they could be breaking alot better then they do. NOTE: The front left break had no creak prior to me installing the break pads. I was thinking possibly it needed to be greesed better. Also maybe because they had to be filed bit to fit maybe they need to be grinded a bit more? I gave alot of information hehe but its better to have all of it then some of it. I was possibly thinking I missed greasing something? And if thats true the lack of grease could it cause the breaks to be spongy? And if the driver side front break had lack of grease the inbalance could cause spongyness? Since 1 break is working properlly and the other is not. So 1 is working harder then the other. I dont know im just coming to stupid conlusions but please help me! Does my car have to visit the mechanic or is it as simple as just redoing my break pads and regreasing everything. O ya if it is just a regrease am I gonna have to put in new break pads since I removed the break pads to grease it?
