HI,

2006 gs300 rwd

I have been having a problem with my brakes. I went to have new brakes done at the dealer since i keep hearing crunching,popping noise when I make tight turns while braking.or turning into parking spots.Not loud but i can hear it. They put new brake pads in and resurfaced the rotors. The noise was gone for 2k miles. now its back on the right wheel. I went back to the dealer and the shop specialist said it was normal. So i went and test drive 2 used ones and no noise. He regreased the shims and noise went away for 2 weeks and now its back on the drivers wheels. it only makes this noise while making tight turns and braking.or parking in a parking spot.Anyone have this problem? is this normal? any recommedation? If anyone had this and had it fix please share with me what they did? I am thinking of having them replace the rotors and shim kit. Dont know if that will help? Thanks everyone in advance.

Have you lubricate your break? I mean not in the rotor or pad. outside of break metal part. I had similar noise as you have. I asked my friend to lubricate it. And it is gone for a while. so far. more than 2 k.

I also have a 2006 gs300 rwd and seem to be having the same problem as you described. Since my warranty is past (56,000 miles) I am wondering if you found out what was wrong with the car? Thanks in advance for the help.
