    I've heard Wilwood pads are bad about squealing like that. Some guys on another board I'm were complaining about them the other day.

    but still have this noise when applying brake (light/heavy) and going straight and turn the wheel to the left slightly. when turning back right to straight the noise stops. no noise when turning right...this is at all speeds...
    I have not ruled out it being...My Ghost...

    I assume you checked the wheel bearings and races. post #3

    but shouldn't it be for 4 so that dinner can also include the brake guy too?

    course.. the thread didn't start with a "THUMP..THUMP..THUMP.. though.. so maybe that "fix-all" shouldn't count. :D
