when im stopping at a stop sign or street like etc. and still rolling forward while easily letting off the foot brake at about 2km i can hear a creaking sound coming from the rear, mainly the right rear. it sounds like the brakes are sticking. its only when the car is rolling slowly and im braking from 20km to 2km and when i slowly release the pedal while still rolling is when the noise is there. i have looked all over this site, and a couple others, but no one seems to have the same issue, but maybe i havnt looked hard enough. does anyone know what could be causing this? or should i just rip it apart and finger things out the old fashioned way? thx for your time n thoughts.

BRAKE PADS!!!!


How many kms on the car? You sound like you need new pads. That isn't a feeling until you're through the pad.

Ding Ding for 3GFX on this. Have them looked at, you may be down to metal on your rotors which could cost you more than you're willing to spend.
