I have a 2006 Chevy Equinox, in which on the passenger front I have replaced the rotor, brakes, ABS senor, and calipar. How ever something on that side is making a roaring sound when I'm driving and it gets real hot and also when I'm coming to a slow stop the brakes bounce back a little and then it makes a clicking sound. I've only had this SUV for 1 year. Can someone please help me?

 

It could be a caliper hanging up, but the description of the problem is too vague to say for sure. If the caliper is sticking, this is probably due to a bad brake hose. This is especially true if you live in the rust belt where a lot of salt is applied to the roads in the winter. See this post for an explanation.

A roaring sound is usually not associated with sticking calipers. If the tone of the roaring sound varies with vehicle speed and seems to get softer or become louder when turning aggressively in one direction highway speeds, then a wheel bearing is probably wore out.

 

Thanks, I thought about that also. But it doesn't make when turning left to right. It does it when its really hot sometimes and the tire and rotor gets real hot and I'll see a lot of brake dust on my rims.

 

I have replaced the calipar, but now its making a loud screeching sound when driving and stopping. I'm also noticing my brakes are only wearing down on the passenger side. Can someone help me?

 

Did you replace the brake hose? Also, don't forget to lube the caliper guide pins with some brake grease.

 

any brake pull associated with your problem? you brake and the car pulls to either the left or right?


irregularly worn tires will make a roaring growl type noise.

 

I repalced the brake hoses on both sides and lude the guide pins. The part that the guide pins for the calipar set in, does it ever goes to the bad?

 

The caliper bracket rarely needs to be replaced. Unless it is broke/cracked or the guide pin threads are stripped it should be fine. What about the shiny brake pad clips that the brake pads slide on, do they look fine? It wouldn't hurt to put some brake grease on the contact points there too.
