Hi guys,
I recently experienced a problem with my CTR's brakes screeching extremely loud while going in reverse or while the front wheels were fully rotated one direction. The sound was quiet when it first started happening, as if I was running over an aluminum can. Over the course of the week it got progressively louder, to the point where I took the car into the dealer for them to check it out.
The tech (who was extremely nice and helpful) said he noticed right away that "the cover that sits directly behind the front brake rotor had been deformed." He said he didn't see any scuff or scratch marks indicating that it may have been hit by something, so he assumed it may have just bent from extreme heat.
I haven't taken the CTR to the track or driven it hard, but I do live in Orlando, and it is still fairly hot for this time of year, getting to 93-96 deg. on an average day.
As a fix, all he did was take a pair of pliers and bend the cover back in place. Simple enough, but I'm skeptical it will solve the issue permanently. I've had this issue with both front brake sets.
I wasn't sure if any other Civics were experiencing this problem, but for those who were, I wanted to document my experience. This may be related to the issue found here (http://www.civicx.com/threads/loud-metal-screeching-sound.3100/)
Thanks,
Tyler
