Hey so i got my car lowered yesterday and everything was fine but on my way to wings it started to screech. Anyone that could help trouble shoot or could come to wings on North road would be a life saver. Please text me at 778 838 6536.
Ps. Will reward with some wings. Posted via RS Mobile |

Care to clarify where the screech came from?
Few ideas: did you do alignment? On lowered springs, shocks, coilovers? Poor installation? Did you hit a pothole where you bottomed out? All wheel nuts torqued down correctly, car vibrates?
Keep us posted.

screech is comming from drivers front wheel, i think. Its a 2011 civic professionally lowered on buddy clubs n+ i had only minor rubbing when turning and bumps, didnt hit any potholes, screeching just randomly started. Wheel seems to be on tight. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Does it happen when you just give the car some RPMs at stops? Or only when in motion?

If you are near home, limp home slowly. If not, use your emergency jack and jack up the vehicle and spin the wheel by hand to see if it still screeches. Remove the wheel and just visually look to see if there were any signs of rubbing.

See that metal dust sheild behind the rotor? Check if it's touching the rotor. If it is, just push it away a bit.

Good points.
Once I got my wheels painted and 2 nuts were not torqued accordingly, it screeched when I was braking.
Check also into dust shield, fender lining ( but that shouldnt be the problem ), or even the caliper and rotor arent secure causing slight vibration.

Definitely check the dust shield. I had the same problem before. Just crank the wheel to the right/left and wiggle the dust shield back and forth. Drive around and repeat if necessary.

if there is still a screech
another thing is to check the brake pad tabs, sometimes they are not put in place fully and can pop out
i had that issue and when ever i took a turn i could hear the screeching noise

If there are weights on the rims from balancing the tires, try removing them for the time being. I had a similar problem before.

So after cleaning the dust shield, the screeching is 100% gone. I have the worst luck with pebbles, first one was stuck in my rotor like 3 months ago. 2 months ago I had similar screeching for like a block and it just went away.
