Knocking noise and Brake line suggestions - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #82720 9 posts Started by v1becelica
So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on brake lines. I know there are numerous sets on ebay, but I'm not sure if they can be trusted. I am looking for a nice stainless steel set to replace my current stock ones on my st204 GTS.

Also another question...

I had my rear passenger side caliper replaced this past fall... and for some reason I have always had issues on that side. Whenever I brake and then start to drive I hear this knocking sound as if my brakes are seizing and grabbing to the rotor, but its never consistent. It will do it a few times in a row while in a slow speed but once I have sped up it stops and only occurs again when braking.

Do you guys think this may be due to the brake lines? or just sh*ty installation of the caliper at the shop? or is it something completely different... I know it may be difficult to tell but I can always try to get a video up to help decipher the problem.

Let me know what you think and any suggestions about the brake lines. tongue.gif
well i believe that noise is to neglected slider pins you've got to grease those bad boys i had that same problem but it was because my genius friend told me to use anti seize. and also i can get some custom brake lines made for you ive got a shop out here in ontario that can make any color length and fittings you want let me know if you are interested and and questions so i can ask them they are usually about 20 bucks a line depending on length i got 14" lines blue with brass fittings for 17 bucks each for my buddies 7th gen.
thanks, ill lube'em up when i get a chance and see if that helps. I'll let you know about the brake lines. are they stainless steel by chance?
yes sir the lines are stainless steel braided.
did you solve the problem yet?
Yeah, all fixed. You we're right, I had to grease the slider pins. Theres still a little bit of noise back there but I think its due to my rotors and pads. my pads aren't the greatest and they sound like they are grinding every time I break. Going to switch them out soon. But thanks for the advice about the pins... would have taken me a while to figure it out haha.
