I have a weird creaking noise from my brakes (?) at very slow speeds, that is, almost stopped. It's like a creaking/grinding noise, but only at that low speed, any ideas? It's quite loud and not something I've heard before in any car,could it be bushes?

Are your brakes alright?

Are you sure one of the pads is not metal on metal?

How many k's does your car have?

Dry sliders on the caliper a can sound like creaking

Could be a whole list of things, you gotta be a bit more specific with your question, and what you have already checked

Brakes are fine, I'm familiar with worn pads sound, or worse, metal on metal, it' s a much deeper sound. Cars done 82km, due for a service next month, I'll get it checked then. Cheers.

Stone caught in there somehow? I'd pull the pads out and inspect visually, or get it checked by a shop soon just in case.

Hi G6ETNZ,

I had a similar noise. Apx 30cm from stopping.. & when I was reversing slowly with my foot on the brake.

It turned out it was the wheel sensors thinking I was out of control.

I didn't get any warning lights on the dash either..

Easiest way to see if it's ABS related just pull the ABS fuse out & go for a drive. This disables your TCS & DSC aswell so you'll see all 3 warning lights illuminated.

Might make it easier to point the mechanic in the right direction
