Hey gang.
So I have been chasing this strange shimmying/squeaking sound coming from my back tire area. Yes this is different then my tire noise issue.
Anyhow as of now I am not thinking it is the wheel bearings, but not ruled out yet. My attention is now on the rear brake caliper, which I thought the pads might be rubbing against. So I tried some anti-squeak brake paste/silicone for the back of the pads. Didn't do anything.
Just did a through cleaning of the caliper, which has 2 pistons on each side (or pad). On either side 1 of the pistons is a bit lazy and pushes out much later then one next to it. Could this be skewing the pads and causing it to scrap against the rotor at a angle?
Otherwise the brake pressure and function seems the same to me.
Help!
